Commentary
4 notes on this verseIt was in the lot of this tribe, near the waters of Merom, that Joshua fought and routed Jabin, ch. xi. In this tribe stood Capernaum and Bethsaida, on the north end of the sea of Tiberias, in which Christ did so many mighty works; and the mountain (as is supposed) on which Christ preached, Matt. v. 1 .
This site's exposition
The sixth lot came out
on Joshua 19:32-39
Hazor, burned as the head of the northern kingdoms at 11:10-11, appears at verse 36 as an ordinary town, yet by Judges 4:2 a king reigning in Hazor oppresses Israel again. Kedesh at verse 37 becomes a city of refuge at 20:7 and is where Deborah sends for Barak at Judges 4:6. Judges 1:33 names Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath as towns Naphtali never cleared, and both close this list.

The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali,.... The tribe of Naphtali, and directed what should be the inheritance of this tribe: even for the children of Naphtali, according to their families; which was to be divided among them, according to the number of their, families.

the sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali--Although the cities mentioned have not been discovered, it is evident, from Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh, that is, on the northwest of Lake Merom (Jud 4:11), that the boundary described (Jos 19:34) ran from the southwest towards the northeast, up to the sources of the Jordan.
