Rashi
רב מהם. מן הראוי להם:
Was too large for them. It was more than was their due.2Various reasons are presented why Shimon was given part of their inheritance in the midst of Yehudah’s territory. Some say that Shimon helped Yehudah conquer their land and therefore merited to receive some of it as their own. Others maintain that this was because Yaakov had said: “Shimon and Levi are brothers, instruments of violence are their wares. I will disperse them throughout Yaakov and scatter them throughout Israel.” (Bereishis 49:5,7) Shimon was given a portion within Yehudah and Levi was scattered throughout many cities in the land.

Rashi
כסלות תבור. אומר אני שהוא לשון כסלים, פלנק"ש בלע"ז, לא בגובהו ולא בשיפולו אלא בשיפועו וסמוך לאמצעו קרוב לצד אחורים ומלצד פניו, כדרך שהכסלים עומדות בבהמה, ובמקום שהוא אומר (להלן פסוק לד): אזנות תבור, סמוך לראשו הוא במקום האזנים:
Kislos-tovor. I say that [כִּסְלוֹת] is an expression of flanks, כְּסָלִים, flancs in old French. This is similar to what is stated in Vayikro 3:4. It is not at its highest point and not at its bottom, but on its slope, near the middle, closer to the rear, than the front, like the flanks of an animal. [Thus in this verse it reads the flanks of Mt. Tabor]. However when Scripture states, Oznos-Tavor, it refers to a place near its top, the place where the ears are situated.
וּמִשָּׁם עָבַר קֵדְמָה מִזְרָחָה גִּתָּה חֵפֶר עִתָּה קָצִין וְיָצָא רִמּוֹן הַמְּתֹאָר הַנֵּעָֽה׃

Rashi
קדמה מזרחה גתה חפר. ממזרח לגת החפר, שם עירו של יונה בן אמיתי (מלכים ב יד כה):
East of Gitoh-cheifer. To the east of Gat-hacheifer which is the name of the city of [the prophet] Yonah ben Amtai.
עתה קצין. שם העיר עתה קצין:
Ittoh-kotzin. This was the name of the city.
המתואר הנעה. המוסב על נעה, כלומר משם תאר הגבול לנעה, וכן תרגם יונתן: ונפיק לרמון ומתמן מסתחר לנעה:
It circled around to Neioh. [From Rimmon] it circled to Neioh. In other words, from there, the boundary circled around to Neioh. Targum Yonason also explains it this way: “It extended to Rimmon, and from there it circled to Neioh.”3Rashi goes to great pain to refute those who say that the word הַמְתאָר is connected to רִמוֹן and thus translate, Rimon-misoar as though this was the name of the city.

The second lot came out. It was second to that of Binyomin, for Binyomin’s lot was the first of the seven tribes whose representatives Yehoshua spoke to [saying]: “And they will divide it into seven parts,” for Yehudah and Yoseif had previously received [their inheritance] as it is said there: “Yehudah will remain at his boundary in the south,” [and the house of Yoseif will remain at their boundary in the north].”1See above 18:5. From here he goes on to list the seven lots.
