Contextual Overview

10The third lot came up for [the tribe of] the sons of Zebulun according to their families. The territory of their inheritance extended to Sarid. 11Then its border went up westward and on to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth and reached to the brook east of Jokneam.12Then it turned from Sarid east toward the sunrise as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it proceeded to Daberath and on up to Japhia. 13From there it continued east toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin, and proceeded to Rimmon which turns toward Neah. 14The border circled it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the Valley of Iphtahel. 15Included were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages. 16This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And their border went up toward the sea,.... Westward towards the Mediterranean sea, which fulfilled the prophecies of Jacob and Moses, that Zebulun should dwell by the sea, be an haven of ships, and take of the abundance of the seas, as in the places before referred to; and so Josephus says, the Zebulunites took the land unto the lake of Gennesaret, by or about Carmel and the sea:

and Maralah; which Jerom calls g the ascent of Zebulun; for from hence it went up from the sea, and reached to Dabbasheth; which Jerom calls Dasbath; the word signifies a hump that is on a camel's back,

Isaiah 30:6; so called because when that is hurt by burdens it is cured with honey h; it seems to denote some place or city at a point of land or promontory, that stood out towards the sea, as that of Carmel; or some city on the back of Carmel, resembling a camel's hump:

and reached to the river that [is] before Jokneam; of Jokneam,

Isaiah 30:6- :; and this river was either the river Kishon, or Belus, sometimes called Pagida; from whence sand was taken to make glass of k, and was near Carmel, as Jokneam was.

g De loc. Heb. fol. 90. K. h T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 154. 2. k Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 19. & l. 36. c. 26.
