About Uzziel
Uzziel was a leader from the tribe of Simeon. He is mentioned in the genealogy of Simeon as one of the sons of Ishi. Uzziel, along with his brothers Pelatiah, Neariah, and Rephaiah, led a group of 500 Simeonite men in an attack against the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped to Mount Seir. They struck down the Amalekites and took possession of their land, where they settled and lived during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah.
