The second lot
In the ancient practice of casting lots, the Israelites sought divine guidance in the distribution of the land. The "second lot" signifies the order in which the tribes received their inheritance. This method underscores the belief in God's sovereignty and providence, ensuring that each tribe's portion was divinely appointed. The casting of lots was a common practice in the ancient Near East, often used to make decisions believed to be beyond human wisdom.

came out for Simeon
The tribe of Simeon, named after the second son of Jacob and Leah, receives its inheritance. Historically, Simeon is often associated with zeal and fervor, as seen in the actions of its progenitor in Genesis. The allocation of land to Simeon reflects God's continued faithfulness to His covenant with the patriarchs, ensuring that each tribe, regardless of past actions, has a place in the Promised Land.

for the tribe of the descendants of Simeon
This phrase emphasizes the continuity of God's promises through generations. The "descendants of Simeon" are not just inheritors of land but of a divine promise that extends from their forefather. It highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite society, where identity and inheritance are closely tied to one's tribal affiliation.

according to their clans
The division of land "according to their clans" indicates a further subdivision within the tribe, ensuring that each family unit received its rightful portion. This reflects the communal and familial structure of ancient Israelite society, where the clan was a fundamental social unit. It also demonstrates God's attention to detail and fairness, as each clan's needs and size were considered in the distribution.

Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah
The location of Simeon's inheritance "within the territory of Judah" is significant. Historically, this arrangement led to a close relationship between the tribes of Simeon and Judah. Over time, Simeon became somewhat absorbed into Judah, reflecting the fluid and dynamic nature of tribal boundaries and relationships in ancient Israel. This placement also speaks to the unity and interdependence among the tribes, as they shared the land and its resources.

INHERITANCE OF SIMEON (Joshua 19:1-9).

(1) Their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.--The southern part of the inheritance of Judah was given up to Simeon. (See Judges 1:3; Judges 1:17.) In this fact a prophecy was fulfilled; for the effect of the allotment was to separate Simeon from the tribes with whom he had been united in the journey through the wilderness (viz., Reuben and Gad), who had cast off Simeon, and united themselves with the half tribe of Manasseh instead. Being also separated from Levi, Simeon was still further isolated: with the result that in the final separation of Israel and Judah, after Solomon's death, the tribe of Simeon, though adhering to the kingdom of the ten tribes (for the children of Simeon were counted strangers in Judah--2Chronicles 15:9), was separated from the territory of that kingdom by the whole breadth of the kingdom of Judah. Thus were Jacob's words brought to pass, which he spoke on his death-bed regarding Simeon and Levi: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

(2) Beer-sheba.--Bir-es-seba. Sheba (Shema). . . .

Verse 1. - And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. Literally, in the midst of. νにゅーμみゅーσしぐまοおみくろんνにゅー, LXX.; in medio, Vulgate (cf. ver. 9). Simeon, at the last census (Numbers 26:14), was the smallest of the tribes of Israel, a fulfilment of the prophecy of Jacob, and possibly the result of the command given in Numbers 25:5, since the Simeonites were the chief offenders on that occasion (Numbers 25:14; see also 1 Chronicles 4:27). The distribution of territory was in accordance with this, and it is possible that the lot only determined the priority of choice among the tribes. The territory of Judah seems to have been recognised as too large, in spite of the importance of the tribe. They therefore willingly gave up a portion of their territory to the Simeonites.
