Bethlehem of Zebulun A town about six miles west-northwest of Nazareth in the region of Galilee (Josh 19:15). The place is only mentioned in the description of the territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun in Josh 19:10–16. The judge Ibzan of Bethlehem may have been from this Bethlehem (Judg 12:8–10); however, this connection is mainly inferred from the fact that Elon, the judge listed as succeeding Ibzan, was a Zebulunite (Judg 12:11). Alternately, Ibzan may have been from Bethlehem of Judah. For more information, see these articles: Ibzan the Judge; Bethlehem of Judah.
