Numbers 2:12
"And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon,.... Under his standard, and on one side of it; Reuben and Simeon being brothers by the mother as

well as the father's side, might well be thought to agree together; and Reuben being the eldest brother, and the eldest of all Jacob's sons, Simeon would not grudge to pitch under him: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; of whom see Num 1:6 .
