Joshua 19:2-12

2 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba or Sheba, Moladah,
3 Hazarshual, Balah, Azem,
4 Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,
5 Ziklag, Bethmarcaboth, Hazarsusah,
6 Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen: thirteen cities and their villages;
7 Ain, Remmon, Ether, and Ashan: four cities and their villages,
8 with all the villages that were round about these cities unto Baalathbeer, which is Ramath of the Negev. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.
9 Out of the portion of the sons of Judah was taken the inheritance of the sons of Simeon; for the part of the sons of Judah was too much for them; therefore, the sons of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of Judah.
10 The third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid.
11 And their border goes up towards the sea and to Maralah and reaches unto Dabbasheth and from there comes to the river that is before Jokneam,
12 and turning from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising to the border of Chislothtabor and then goes out to Daberath and up to Japhia,
