Nahallal. — (‘Ain Mahil, sheet 6).
Shimron. — (Simûmieh, west of Nazareth, sheet 5).
Idalah. — (El Huwârah, a ruin just south of Bethlehem, sheet 5).
Beth-lehem. — (Beit-Lahm, sheet v.). It seems right to refer Ibzan of Bethlehem (Judges 12:8; Judges 12:10) to this town. The other Bethlehem is called in Judges and Ruth, Bethlehem-Judah; and in Micah, Bethlehem-Ephratah (Judges 17:7; Judges 19:1; Ruth 1:1; Micah 5:2). Bethlehem-Judah is designated Bethlehem only when it is impossible to mistake it for Bethlehem of Zebulun (e.g., Ruth 1:19, and 1 Samuel 16:4).
Twelve cities. — Ittah-kazin, Neah, Dabbasheth, and Kattath have not been identified, and they may not all be names of towns.
