Amplified Bible
Joshua 19:1-19
1Then the second lot fell to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families (clans), and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the sons of Judah.
2So they had as their inheritance Beersheba or Sheba and Moladah,
3and Hazar-shual and Balah and Ezem,
4and Eltolad and Bethul and Hormah,
5and Ziklag and Beth-marcaboth and Hazar-susah,
6and Beth-lebaoth and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;
7Ain, Rimmon and Ether and Ashan; four cities with their villages;
8and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev (South country). This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.
9The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, for the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance within Judah’s inheritance.
10The third lot came up for [the tribe of] the sons of Zebulun according to their families. The territory of their inheritance extended to Sarid.
11Then its border went up westward and on to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth and reached to the brook east of Jokneam.
12Then it turned from Sarid east toward the sunrise as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it proceeded to Daberath and on up to Japhia.
13From there it continued east toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin, and proceeded to Rimmon which turns toward Neah.
14The border circled it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the Valley of Iphtahel.
15Included were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages.
16This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
17The fourth lot fell to [the tribe of] Issachar, to the sons of Issachar according to their families.
18Their territory included: Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem,
19and Hapharaim and Shion and Anaharath,
