Contextual Overview

10The third lot came up for Zebulun’s descendants by their clans. 11their border went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam. 12From Sarid, it turned due east along the border of Chisloth-tabor, went to Daberath, and went up to Japhia. 13From there, it went due east to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon, curving around to Neah. 14The border then circled around Neah on the north to Hannathon and ended at Iphtah-el Valley, 15along with Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem—twelve cities, with their settlements. 16This was the inheritance of Zebulun’s descendants by their clans, these cities, with their settlements.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the border compasseth it from the north side to Hannathon,.... This is the northern border of the tribe, which took a circuit from the last place to this; of which and the following place we have no account; Jerom only makes mention of them as in the tribe of Zebulun:

and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel; here the northern border ended, which, Masius conjectures, was part of the valley of Carmel.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hannathon, more properly Channathon, has been supposed by some to be the Cana of Galilee of the New Testament, and Jiphthah-el is probably the present “Jefat”; the “Jotapata” of Roman times, which was so long and valiantly defended by Josephus against the legions of Vespasian. The “Valley” is the “Wady Abilin”; and Bethlehem Joshua 19:15 is the present miserable village of “Beit-Lahin.”
