Naphtali is located between Zebulun and Jordan. There is insufficient information in the Book of Mormon to locate Naphtali in relation to any other places. Researchers locate Naphtali north of Jerusalem.

II NEPHI 9:61 [19:1]: Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict by the way of the Red Sea beyond Jordan in Galilee of the nations.
Commentary: This verse references the places of Galilee, Jordan, Naphtali, the Red Sea, and Zebulun. This verse is also found in Isaiah 9:1. Jordan is located in Galilee. The term 'afterward' indicates a continuation of action and that Jordan and Galilee are between Zebulun and Naphtali and the Red Sea. Since this verse describes a sequence of actions, the places listed should be in geographical order. The wording is not the same for lists of places that share borders, so no assumptions are made about if, or any, places exist between these places, just that these places occur in geographical sequence.
