Context of Joshua 19:15
13and from thence it passed along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretcheth unto Neah; 14and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon; and the goings out thereof were at the valley of Iphtah-el; and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. 16This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages. 17The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children of Issachar according to their families.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Shimron - See on Joshua 12:20; (note). Beth-lehem - The house of bread; a different place from that in which our Lord was born.Read the comment
