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 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. ShimronJoshua 12:20.

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