	When the land was divided originally, towns in the territory of [[Naphtali (tribe)\|Naphtali]] were said to be in “Galilee”, i.e. Josh. 20:7. “Galilee” was at that time only the name of an undefined region in northern Israel, at least part of which lied in the land of Naphtali.

			Reading the accounts given at 1 Kings 9:11-13 and 2 Chron. 8:2, it is evident that [[Naphtali]] did not inhabit all of the territory in [[Galilee]] which they inherited, for [[Solomon]] had to repopulate many of those cities in his time.

	Many of [[Benjamin (tribe)\|Benjamin]] and [[Levi (Tribe)\|Levi]] settled in Galilee after the return from [[Babylonian Captivity\|Babylon]], which is evident from the Scriptures. But Galilee did not originally belong to Benjamin.

	==== Sea of Galilee ====		==== Sea of Galilee ====
	In Old Testament scriptures, the “sea of Galilee” is always called the “sea of Chinnereth” (or [[(Hebrew) Chinneroth\|Chinneroth]], Strong’s #3672), mentioned at Num. 34:11; Deut. 3:17; Josh. 11:2; 12:3; 13:27 and 19:35. Additionally, it is quite clear from Scripture that half of the coastline of the Sea of Galilee was adjoined by land belonging to the Tribe of Naphtali, with the balance adjoined by the lands of the [[Geshurites]] and Maachathites (Deut. 3:14; Joshua 13:7-13). Geshur was considered a part of the land of [[Syria (Aram)\|Aram]], or Syria. The [[Aramaeans]] were [[Shemites\|Semites]] and related to the Israelites. The Maachathites were apparently also related to the Israelites through Abraham's brother [[Nahor]] (Gen. 22:24) though they remained a distinct kingdom (1 Chron. 19:6-7).

			=== Tyre ===
			The Septuagint (LXX) says at Joshua 19:28-29, of Asher’s inheritance: “And Elbon, and Raah, and Ememaon, and Canthan to great Sidon. And the borders shall turn back to Rama, and to the fountain of Masphassat, and the Tyrians ...”. But a little further on, describing Naphtali’s inheritance at 19:35: “And the walled cities of the Tyrians, Tyre, and Omathadaketh, and Kenereth ...”, quite different than the version found in the A.V. Although not within Naphtali’s territory, did Naphtali inherit Tyre, on the coast of the territory of Asher? Or did this refer to the island off the coast? Such can not be told with the data I have presently [this text is from an essay entitled 'Galilee of the Nations?' by William Finck].
