Numbered at Sinai (Num 1:31) and before entering Canaan (Num 26:27). It was one of the tribes which did not drive out the Canaanites, but only made them tributary (Jdg 1:30). It took little interest in public affairs. It responded, however, readily to the summons of Gideon (Jdg 6:35), and afterwards assisted in enthroning David at Hebron (1Chr 12:33ff). Along with the other northern tribes, Zebulun was carried away into the land of Assyria by Tiglath-pileser (2Kg 15:29).
