Joshua 19:1-19
1The second lot belonged to the tribe of Simeon by its clans.
2Their assigned land included Beer Sheba, Moladah,
3Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem,
4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,
5Ziklag, Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susah,
6Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen – a total of thirteen cities and their towns,
7Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan – a total of four cities and their towns,
8as well as all the towns around these cities as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah of the Negev). This was the land assigned to the tribe of Simeon by its clans.
9Simeon’s assigned land was taken from Judah’s allotted portion, for Judah’s territory was too large for them; so Simeon was assigned land within Judah.
10The third lot belonged to the tribe of Zebulun by its clans. The border of their territory extended to Sarid.
11Their border went up westward to Maralah and touched Dabbesheth and the valley near Jokneam.
12From Sarid it turned eastward to the territory of Kisloth Tabor, extended to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.
13From there it crossed eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin and extended to Rimmon, turning toward Neah.
14It then turned on the north to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El.
15Their territory included Kattah, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; in all they had twelve cities and their towns.
16This was the land assigned to the tribe of Zebulun by its clans, including these cities and their towns.
17The fourth lot belonged to the tribe of Issachar by its clans.
18Their assigned land included Jezreel, Kesulloth, Shunem,
19Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,
