10 Now the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families . And the territory of their inheritance was as far as Sarid . 11 Then their border went up to the west and to Maralah , it then touched Dabbesheth and reached to the brook that is before e Jokneam . 12 Then it turned from Sarid to the east toward the sunrise e as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor , and it proceeded to Daberath and up to Japhia . 13 From there it continued eastward toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher , to Eth-kazin , and it proceeded to Rimmon which stretches to Neah . 14 The border circled around it on the north to Hannathon , and it ended e at the valley of Iphtahel . 15 Included also were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem ; twelve e cities with their villages . 16 This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families , these cities with their villages .

Commentary on Joshua 19:10-16
(Read Joshua 19:10-16)
In the division to each tribe of Israel, the prophetic blessings of Jacob were fulfilled. They chose for themselves, or it was divided to them by lot, in the manner and places that he foresaw. So sure a rule to go by is the word of prophecy: we see by it what to believe, and it proves beyond all dispute the things that are of God.
