Context of Joshua 19:32

30Ummah, Aphek and Rehob. They received 22 towns and their villages. 31That was the land that Joshua gave to the families of Asher's tribe, as well as the towns and their villages. The sixth part of the land was for Naphtali's tribe, clan by clan. 33The border of their land went from Heleph and the big oak tree in Zaanannim. It went to Adami Nekeb and Jabneel, and it continued to Lakkum. It ended at the Jordan River. 34The border turned west to Aznoth Tabor and it continued to Hukkok. It touched Zebulun's land on its south side, Asher's land on its west side and the Jordan River on its east side.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 32-39The tribe of Naphtali occupied eastern Galilee and overlooked the Sea of Galilee. Because a branch of an international trade route from Egypt to Mesopotamia ran through the territory of Naphtali, this tribe enjoyed periods of prosperity when Israel’s kings were strong.
