Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, etc.] The first of these seems to be the same with Kattah or Kartah, and the latter with Nahalal, both cities given to the Levites, (<061915>Joshua 19:15 21:34,35); 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.
