Joshua 19:38-48

38 and Keroe, and Megalaarim, and Baetthame, and Thessamys.

39 This the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Nephthali.

40 And the seventh lot came out to Dan.

41 And their borders were Sarath, and Asa, and the cities of Sammaus,

42 and Salamin, and Ammon, and Silatha,

43 and Elon, and Thamnatha, and Accaron;

44 and Alcatha, and Begethon, and Gebeelan,

45 and Azor, and Banaebacat, and Gethremmon.

46 And westward of Hieracon the border near to Joppa.

47 This the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan, according to their families, these their cities and their villages: and the children of Dan did not drive out the Amorite who afflicted them in the mountain; and the Amorite would not suffer them to come down into the valley, but they forcibly took from them the border of their portion.

48 And the sons of Dan went and fought against Lachis, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and they dwelt in it, and called the name of it Lasendan: and the Amorite continued to dwell in Edom and in Salamin: and the hand of Ephraim prevailed against them, and they became tribute to them.
