Contextual Overview

¹⁰ The third part of the land was given to the tribe of Zebulun. Each family group of Zebulun received some of the land. The border of Zebulun went as far as Sarid. ¹¹ Then it went west to Maralah and came near Dabbesheth and then near Jokneam. ¹² Then it turned to the east. It went from Sarid to the area of Kisloth Tabor and on to Daberath and to Japhia. ¹³ It continued eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin, ending at Rimmon. There the border turned and went toward Neah. ¹⁴ At Neah it turned again and went to the north to Hannathon and continued to the Valley of Iphtah El. ¹⁵ Inside this border were the cities of Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve towns and their villages. ¹⁶ So these are the towns and the villages that were given to the family groups of Zebulun.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Kattath, and Nahallal,.... Of the two first of these we read nowhere else, but in Joshua 21:34;

and Shimron was a royal city, the king of which Joshua took and hanged, Joshua 11:1;

and Idalah is a place Bochart conjectures t where the goddess Venus was worshipped, Idalia being one of her names;

and Bethlehem is a different place from that which was the birthplace of our Lord, called Bethlehem of Judah, to distinguish it from this:

twelve cities with their villages; more are named, but some of them belonged to other tribes, and only lay on the borders of this; and others might not be properly cities, but small towns.

t Canaan, l. 1. c. 3. col. 356.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Twelve cities - Only five have been mentioned, and the names in the verses preceding are apparently not names of Zebulonite cities, but merely of points in or near the boundary line. It would therefore appear that seven names have disappeared from the text, and perhaps also the definition of the western frontier.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 19:15. Shimron — Joshua 12:20.

Beth-lehem — The house of bread; a different place from that in which our Lord was born.
