42. Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43. Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

45. Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon,

46. Me Jarkon and Rakkon. Dan's share included the area that faces Joppa.

47. The people of Dan had trouble taking over their territory. So they went up and attacked Leshem. They took it. They killed its people with their swords. Then they moved into Leshem and settled down there. They named it Dan. That's because they traced their family line back to him.

48. All of those towns and their villages were the share the tribe of Dan received, family group by family group.

49. The people of Israel finished dividing up the shares of land the tribes received. Then they gave a share to Joshua, the son of Nun.
