Joshua 19:13
11 It went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam.
12 From Sarid it turned eastward along the border of Chisloth-tabor and went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.
From there it crossed eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon and curved around toward Neah.
14 Then the border circled around the north side of Neah to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el.
15 It also included Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve cities, along with their villages.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
