Contextual Overview
10 And the third lot fell to the children of Zabulon by their kindreds: and the border of their possession was unto Sarid. 11 And It went up from the sea and from Merala, and came to Debbaseth: as far as the torrent, which is over against Jeconam. 12 And it returneth from Sarid eastward to the borders of Ceseleththabor: and it goeth out to Dabereth and ascendeth towards Japhie. 13 And it passeth along from thence to the east side of Gethhepher and Thacasin: and goeth out to Remmon, Amthar and Noa. 14 And it turneth about to the north of Hanathon: and the outgoings thereof are the valley of Jephtahel, 15 And Cateth and Naalol and Semeron and Jedala and Bethlehem: twelve cities and their villages. 16 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Zabulon by their kindreds, the cities and 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. Shimron — Joshua 12:20.
Beth-lehem — The house of bread; a different place from that in which our Lord was born.
