Joshua 19:9-19

9 Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was to Sarid:
11 And their border went up towards the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that [is] before Jokneam,
12 And turned from Sarid eastward, towards the sun-rising, to the border of Chisloth-tabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,
13 And from thence passeth along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to Remmon-methoar to Neah;
14 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the limits of it are in the valley of Jiphthah-el:
15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Beth-lehem; twelve cities with their villages.
16 This [is] the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
17 [And] the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.
18 And their border was towards Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
19 And Hapharaim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,
