Joshua 19:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 He also gave them Ain, Rimmon, Ether and Ashan.
There were four towns and their villages. 8 This included all the villages near them as far as Baalath Beer (also called Ramah, in the Negev).
That was the land that Joshua gave to the families of Simeon's tribe. 9 Because Judah had received more land than they needed, Joshua took some of their land for Simeon. So Simeon's tribe lived inside the land that Joshua had given to Judah.[a]

New International Version
7 Ain, Rimmon,(A) Ether and Ashan(B)—four towns and their villages— 8 and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah in the Negev).(C)
This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Simeonites, according to its clans. 9 The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah,(D) because Judah’s portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.(E)
