And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to Mount Seir,.... In the land of Edom: having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi; these four captains are said, by the ancient Rabbins, to be of the tribe of Manasseh, as Kimchi observes; see 1Ch 5:24 but as the five hundred they were at the head of were of the sons of Simeon, the captains, no doubt, were of the same race.

on 1 Chronicles 4:34-43

The princes named here led their growing families to seek new pasture, first east of Gedor, where they found the land wide and quiet and destroyed a remnant of Ham's descendants who had held it of old, in the days of Hezekiah. A second company of five hundred went further, to mount Seir, and smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, the last blow this book records against the people whose destruction Israel was commanded from the days of Moses and Saul.
