Context of Joshua 19:14

12But from Sarid it turns directly east toward the border of Chisloth Tabor, on to Daberath, and then ascends toward Japhia. 13From there it goes directly east to Gath Hepher, Eth Kazin, and Rimmon, where it turns to Neah. There 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. 16These cities with their villages are the inheritance given to the families descended from Zebulun.

Commentaries on Joshua 19:14

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-16Verses 10-16 In the division to each tribe of Israel, the prophetic blessings of Jacob were fulfilled.

Although they do not seem at first to have touched on the western shore--a part of Manasseh running north into Asher (Jos 17:10)--they afterwards did, according to the prediction of Moses (De 33:19).
