1 Chronicles 4:27

And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, his large family being brought out very prominently; but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply like to the children of Judah. This fact, which in those days was looked upon as a special visitation of the Lord, hindered the Simeonites from becoming a large and powerful tribe, Numbers 1:22; Numbers 26:14. Cf Jacob's curse, Genesis 49:7.
