Joshua 19:5-12 Good News Bible (GNB)

5. Ziklag, Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susah,

6. Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen: thirteen cities, along with the towns round them.

7. There were also Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan: four cities, along with the towns round them.

8. This included all the towns round these cities as far as Baalath Beer (or Ramah), in the south. This was the land which the families of the tribe of Simeon received as their possession.

9. Since Judah's assignment was larger than was needed, part of its territory was given to the tribe of Simeon.

10. The third assignment made was for the families of the tribe of Zebulun. The land which they received reached as far as Sarid.

11. From there the border went west to Mareal, touching Dabbesheth and the stream east of Jokneam.

12. On the other side of Sarid it went east to the border of Chisloth Tabor, then to Daberath and up to Japhia.
