Joshua chapter 19

After reading chapter 19:

 *Here we have more distribution of land by tribe. First the tribe of Simeon, which was given a portion of Judah's land, 17 towns and villages, because Judah had more land than they needed. Next, the tribe of Zebulun was given twelve towns and villages. The tribe of Issachar was given 16 towns and villages. The tribe of Asher was given 22 towns and villages. The tribe of Naphtali was given 19 towns and villages.

*The tribe of Dan was given was given a territory but had trouble taking posession. (Yahweh must have been taking a break.) So they attacked the city of Leshem, killed all the inhabitants and settled there, renaming the city Dan. The second largest tribe, according to Numbers, recieved one of the smallest portions of land.

*Lastly, the Israelites gave Joshua the town he asked for, Timnath Serah, in the territory of Ephraim. (Joshua was an Ephraimite.) This was done by Yahweh's command, and Yahweh conveniently spoke through Joshua. So, Joshua basically said,"God told me to tell you that I get this land." And all this was sanctioned by the high priest, who of course would not object, considering the benefits of his job.

I encourage you to read all the articles on the various tribes and towns. They contain some interesting bits of information and folklore.
