Contextual Overview
10 The third lot came up for the tribe of Zeb'ulun, according to its families. And the territory of its inheritance reached as far as Sarid; 11 then its boundary goes up westward, and on to Mar'eal, and touches Dab'besheth, then the brook which is east of Jok'ne-am; 12 from Sarid it goes in the other direction eastward toward the sunrise to the boundary of Chis'loth-ta'bor; thence it goes to Dab'erath, then up to Japhi'a; 13 from there it passes along on the east toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and going on to Rimmon it bends toward Ne'ah; 14 then on the north the boundary turns about to Han'nathon, and it ends at the valley of Iph'tahel; 15 and Kattath, Nahal'al, Shimron, I'dalah, and Bethlehem--twelve cities with their villages. 16 This is the inheritance of the tribe of Zeb'ulun, according to its 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. Shimron — Joshua 12:20.
Beth-lehem — The house of bread; a different place from that in which our Lord was born.
