Biography
The second son of Jacob and Leah, Simeon joined with his brother Levi in the violent massacre of Shechem to avenge their sister Dinah's rape. This act of vengeance was condemned by Jacob on his deathbed. Simeon was later held hostage in Egypt by Joseph until the brothers returned with Benjamin.
Simeon's tribe was later absorbed into Judah's territory, and his descendants' fierce nature found positive expression in defending Israel.
