Inside the land that was given to Issachar and Asher, the towns of Beth Shan and Ibleam belonged to Manasseh. The towns of Dor, Endor, Taanach and Megiddo and their people also belonged to Manasseh. Manasseh was given all of those towns and the settlements that were around them. The third town in the list was also called Naphoth Dor.

Verse Explanation
Manasseh received several important cities within the territories of Issachar and Asher, including Beth-shan, Ibleam, Dor, Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo. These cities were strategically important because they controlled major roads and trade routes.
History
The conquest and settlement period is generally dated around 1400–1200 BC (depending on the biblical chronology used). Megiddo and Beth-shan were ancient cities with long histories before Israel entered Canaan.
