In Judges 4, Deborah (prophetess of God) sent for Barak (leader of Zebulun) and instructed him 'Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead the way to Mount Tabor'.

This with the promise that God would deliver Sisera over to them. Barak's response was that of mistrust in the prophetess of God with "I won't go unless you also Go". Deborah complied, God delivered them a great victory but they were humbled because the honor of the victory "went over to a woman" (Deborah) Judges 4:9.

When moving into Canaan the Naphtali and Zebulun tribes failed to displace the Canaanites. So, since they couldn't remove them, they moved in among the Canaanites.

Judges 1:30-33 "Zebulon, Asher, and Naphtali all tried unsuccessfully to drive the Canaanites from their territory, but settled for moving in among them."

What a terrible concession these tribes made with the enemy. Not only did they give up their Royal heritage as God's chosen people, but they also settled to intermingle with heathens and inter-marry.
