"Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon to wife);" — 1 Kings 4:15 (ASV)

The eighth division is the upper valley of the Jordan, south of Mount Hermon, including part of the north-west coast of the Sea of Gennesareth and the water of Merom. In it lie Hazor, forming the centre of the native confederacy of the north, and the Levitical city of refuge, Kedesh-Naphtali (Joshua 12:22; Joshua 19:37; Judges 4:6).
