1 Kings 4:12

Baana the son of Ahilud, [to him pertained] Taanach and
Megiddo, and all Bethshean
All which were places in the tribe of Manasseh, ( Joshua 17:11 ) ; which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel;
so described, to distinguish it, as is thought, from Zaretan in ( Joshua 3:16 ) ; and the country this officer presided over reached also from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, [even] unto [the place that is] beyond
Jokneam;
the two first of these were in the tribe of Manasseh, and the last in the tribe of Zebulun, ( Joshua 19:11 ) .
