5. Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah,
6. Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities with their villages;
7. Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities with their villages,
8. together with all the villages around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Simeon according to their clans.
9. The inheritance of the people of Simeon formed part of the territory of the people of Judah. Because the portion of the people of Judah was too large for them, the people of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.
10. The third lot came up for the people of Zebulun, according to their clans. And the territory of their inheritance reached as far as Sarid.

12. From Sarid it goes in the other direction eastward toward the sunrise to the boundary of Chisloth-tabor. From there it goes to Daberath, then up to Japhia.
13. From there it passes along on the east toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and going on to Rimmon it bends toward Neah,
14. then on the north the boundary turns about to Hannathon, and it ends at the Valley of Iphtahel;
15. and Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem—twelve cities with their villages.
