Context of Joshua 19:13
11Toward the west the border ascends to Maralah and touches Dabbesheth and the river near Jokneam. 12But from Sarid it turns directly east toward the border of Chisloth Tabor, on to Daberath, and then ascends toward Japhia. From there it goes directly east to Gath Hepher, Eth Kazin, and Rimmon, where it turns to Neah. 14There the border turns north to Hannathon and ends at the valley of Iphtah El. 15This also includes Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were 12 cities with their villages.
