The tribes of Israel descended from twelve brothers. Each tribe had its own territory in their new land, but they worked together to accomplish this. Verse 3 is a simple reminder of this where Judah appeals to Simeon to help defeat the Canaanites. It is good for brothers to act like brothers and to work together to defeat common enemies. The idol-worshipping people of Canaan were enemies of the Jehovah-worshipping Israelites. Today, we defeat our enemies by working together in brotherly love to convert them to Christ (John 13:34-35).
