The immense decrease of this tribe, no less than 37,100, renders it highly probable, that, influenced by the bad example of Zimri, the Simeonites had been peculiarly criminal in the late wickedness, and that multitudes of them had died of the plague.

It is remarkable, that Moses, in Deut ch. 33, bestows no blessing upon this tribe.
