And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
The border ran toward Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem, marking out the territory belonging to Issachar. Shunem itself was a city within Issachar's portion. That allotted land lay within the district afterward known as Galilee. There the tribes failed to drive out the Canaanites completely, dwelling among them and at times reducing them to tribute.
The land was divided by lot. What human speech terms chance, hazard, or fortune is in strictness the determination of providence. By it a part, division, portion, or fate is allotted, assigned, and distributed.
