Quick answer
Shemuel son of Ammihud is named as the prince of Simeon to help divide the land. He represents his tribe in the allotment.
Overview
Each tribe's appointed leader ensured its inheritance was fairly secured. Simeon's portion would later lie within Judah's territory (Joshua 19:1), reflecting Jacob's earlier word about Simeon being scattered in Israel (Genesis 49:7). Even so, God faithfully provided this tribe a place among His people.
