Quick answer
The list continues with Adamah, Ramah, and Hazor. Hazor was a major Canaanite city Joshua had earlier defeated.
Overview
Hazor stands out, for Joshua had burned it as the head of the northern coalition (Joshua 11:10-11). Its inclusion here as a Naphtali town shows the conquered city resettled within Israel's inheritance. The naming testifies that the Lord gave His people victory and then a lasting place to dwell, turning former strongholds of opposition into homes for His people.
