Joshua 19:39

The inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali . Of Naphtali, Beyond the not too heroic leader Barak, we hear nothing in the after history of Israel, until the fulfilment of the prophecy in Isaiah 9:1 , Isaiah 9:2 . Galilee, the scene of the greater part of our Lord's teaching and miracles, was divided between Issachar, Asher, Zebulon, and Naphtali. The majority of the places mentioned in the Gospels were Within the borders of Zebulon. But as we learn that our Lord penetrated as far as "the coasts of Caesarea Philippi," in the extreme north of Palestine, He must have preached also in the cities of Naphtali. Naphtali sent a goodly number of warriors to welcome David as "king over all Israel" ( 1 Chronicles 12:34 ). The inheritance of Naphtali was in the main fertile, but there was a large mountain district, known as the mountain region of Naphtali ( Joshua 20:7 ). Some of the mountains rose to the height of more than 3,000 feet.
