Contextual Overview

32 The sixth lot came out for the tribe of Naph'tali, for the tribe of Naph'tali, according to its families. 33 And its boundary ran from Heleph, from the oak in Za-anan'nim, and Ad'ami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; and it ended at the Jordan; 34 then the boundary turns westward to Az'noth-tabor, and goes from there to Hukkok, touching Zeb'ulun at the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah on the east at the Jordan. 35 The fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chin'nereth, 36 Ad'amah, Ramah, Hazor, 37 Kedesh, Ed're-i, En-ha'zor, 38 Yiron, Mig'dal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-she'mesh--nineteen cities with their villages. 39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of Naph'tali according to its families--the cities with their villages.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Kedesh,.... This is Kedesh in Galilee, in Mount Naphtali, to distinguish it from others of the same name; it was one of the cities of refuge, Joshua 20:7. Jerom says m in his day it was called Cidissus, and was twenty miles from Tyre by Paneas;

Joshua 20:7- :.

and Edrei is a different place from one of that name in the kingdom of Og, Numbers 21:33;

and Enhazor, of which we read nowhere else.

m Ut supra, (De loc. Heb.) fol. 90. B.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The number of the fortified cities of Naphtali is remarkable, though it does not tally with the catalogue. It was no doubt good policy to protect the northern frontier by a belt of fortresses, as the south was protected by the fenced cities of Judah. Hammath, a Levitical city (compare Joshua 21:32; 1 Chronicles 6:76), is not to be confounded with the Hamath on the northeastern frontier of the land Numbers 13:21. The name (from a root signifying “to be warm”) probably indicates that hot springs existed here; and is perhaps rightly traced in Ammaus, near Tiberias. Rakkath was, according to the rabbis, rebuilt by Herod and called Tiberias. The name (“bank, shore”) suits the site of Tiberias very well. Migdal-el, perhaps the Magdala of Matthew 15:39, is now the miserable village of “El Mejdel.”
