There were twelve cities, along with their villages. 16This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Zebulun, including these cities and their villages.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun, according to their families,.... Which was allotted to it and divided, according to the number of its families:

these cities with their villages; before enumerated, excepting such as only bordered on them; though indeed there were other cities which belonged to them, or might be after given them, not here mentioned, as Kartah and Dimnah, Joshua 21:34.
