These sons of Shelah were workers who made things from clay. They lived in Netaim and Gederah and worked for the king.
“I took the load from your shoulder. I let you drop the worker’s basket.
Meonothai was Ophrah’s father. And Seraiah was Joab’s father. Joab was the founder of the Ge Harashim. The people used that name because they were skilled workers.
Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
Skilled workers will always serve kings. They will never have to work for less important people.
