			Amos 3:11, part of a prophecy against Israel, where the A.V. states “An adversary there shall be even round about the land ...” the LXX has “O Tyre, thy land shall be made desolate round about thee ...”. Micah 7:12, in another prophecy directed at Israel, reads in the LXX “And thy cities shall be leveled, and parted among the Assyrians; and thy strong cities shall be parted from Tyre to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.” And so the prophets also testify that the Israelites inhabited Tyre, yet these citations are wanting in the A.V.

			Joshua 11:8 in the A.V. states:<blockquote>“And Yahweh delivered them [the Canaanite army] into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left none remaining.”</blockquote>At Joshua 13:6 we read:<blockquote>“All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.”</blockquote>The name “Sidon”, or “Zidon” at times, described both a city on the coast of Palestine, and the region around it. It also described the Canaanite descendants of [[Sidon (patriarch)\|Sidon]] (Gen. 10:15) who inhabited it. Later we find that although the Israelites surely did inhabit this region, they failed to drive off all the Canaanite and other tribes:<blockquote>“Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan ... Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.” (Jdgs. 3:1-3).</blockquote>

			=== Territory of Asher ===
			The region and city of Sidon became a part of the territory of the tribe of [[Asher (tribe)\|Asher]], as described at Joshua 19:24-31, and we are informed also at Jdgs. 1:31 that Canaanites continued to dwell in the city. But [[Tyre]], which quickly became the prominent “Phoenician” city, was also in the territory of Asher – or at least the mainland city was, since there is not yet mention of the island off the coast – and note that there is no mention anywhere of Canaanites remaining in Tyre.

Sidon was a city of the Phoenicians.

== Prophecies ==
Genesis 49:13 states that Zebulun would dwell among ships bordering [[Sidon]], “... at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for a haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.”

Zebulun’s inherited land was neither near Sidon, nor was it near any sea , including the sea of Chinneroth (Josh. 19:10-16). However, if one is knowledgeable concerning Israel’s early migrations into [[Europe]], then reading Isaiah 9:1 “''... and afterward did more grievously afflict them by the way of the sea '''opposite''' Jordan, in the '''region''' of the Nations''” makes perfectly good sense! And where did the [[Ambassadors (apostles)|light-bearers]] of [[Benjamin (tribe)|Benjamin]] go after the [[Passion of the Christ|Passion]], upon leaving Palestine? To the people who walked in darkness – in [[Europe]] and [[Asia Minor]].

It is apparent that dwelling among ships bordering Sidon depicts the networks of Zebulun throughout the Mediterranean Sea.
