Deuteronomy 33:21

And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.

Deuteronomy 33:21 stands within Moses' final blessing pronounced over Israel. That blessing contains no mention of Simeon. The words spoken about Gad in this verse give no reason for Simeon's omission.
