Zebulun (which means "honor") was the tenth son of Jacob and sixth of Leah, the wife Jacob didn't love. His story is recorded in the Bible in the book of Genesis (Gen 30:19-20). His descendents were one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. In Jacob's deathbed blessing, he said of Zebulun:
"Zebulun will live by the seashore and become a haven for ships; his border will extend toward Sidon." (Gen 49:13)
