Joshua 19:3-13

3 And Hasersual, Bala and Asem,
4 And Eltholad, Bethul and Harma,
5 And Siceleg and Bethmarchaboth and Hasersusa,
6 And Bethlebaoth and Sarohen: thirteen cities, and their villages.
7 And Remmon and Athor and Asan: four cities, and their villages.
8 And all the villages round about these cities to Baalath Beer Ramath to the south quarter. This is the inheritance of the children of Simeon according to their kindreds,
9 In the possession and lot of the children of Juda: because it was too great, and therefore the children of Simeon had their possession in the midst of their inheritance.
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.
