Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol,.... The first of these seems to be the same with Kattah or Kartah, and the latter with Nahalal, both cities given to the Levites, Jos 19:15; which perhaps was the reason of their sloth in driving them out; though it aggravated their sin not to take care to rid those cities of the Canaanites, which were given to religious persons:
but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries; which is observed so far in their favour, that they exerted themselves to make them tributaries, which was more than was done by some others.

30–33. The Northern tribes settle among the Canaanites
We may conclude from this narrative that the northern tribes entered the country after Judah and Ephraim (so Jos_18:2-10 JE), and independently of them. Zebulun, Asher, Naphtali, were not strong enough to make any conquests; they could only settle among the older population; and the northern district remained, probably for centuries, only partially Israelite, ‘Galilee of the Gentiles,’ ‘the heathen territory’ (Isa_9:1). In Jdg_1:27-30 the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Manasseh, Ephraim, Zebulun; in Jdg_1:31-33 Asher and Naphtali dwell in the midst of the Canaanites. According to P in Jos_19:10 ff. the cities which are said here to have remained Canaanite belong to the three tribes.

(30) Neither did Zebulun.—See Jos_19:10-16. Nothing is known of the towns here mentioned. It is remarkable that Issachar is not mentioned, but it may perhaps be accounted for by the condition of contented subjection in which this tribe “bowed his shoulder to the yoke” (Gen_49:14-15).
