From: Concise Bible Dictionary: D

By: George A. Morrish

Levitical city of Zebulun (Josh. 21:35³⁵Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities. (Joshua 21:35)); but it is not mentioned in the cities of this tribe in Joshua 19:10-16¹⁰And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: ¹¹And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam; ¹²And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, ¹³And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to Remmon-methoar to Neah; ¹⁴And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah-el: ¹⁵And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. ¹⁶This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages. (Joshua 19:10‑16), and in the Levitical cities of Zebulun in 1 Chronicles 6:77⁷⁷Unto the rest of the children of Merari were given out of the tribe of Zebulun, Rimmon with her suburbs, Tabor with her suburbs: (1 Chronicles 6:77) the name of RIMMON occurs, which makes it appear probable that the two names refer to the same place.
