This site's exposition

And they dwelt at

on 1 Chronicles 4:28-33

Simeon's inheritance is listed as cities held inside Judah's own territory, matching Joshua nineteen's account that the tribe's portion lay within Judah's larger allotment because Judah's share was too much for them. The recurring note, these were their cities unto the reign of David, marks a boundary the Chronicler's source dated its information by, and some of the towns, Ziklag among them, changed hands again in David's own lifetime.
