Psalm 60:6-8

God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter. Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph." 

In triumph I will parcel out Shechem 
Genesis 12:6  Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
Joshua 24:1  Then Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the elders, leaders, judges and officials of Israel, and they presented themselves before God.
1 Kings 12:1  Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.

and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth 
Genesis 33:17  Jacob, however, went to Sukkoth, where he built a place for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is called Sukkoth [shelters].

Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine
Joshua 13:30-31  The territory extending form Mahanaim and including all of Bashan, the entire realm of Og king of Bashan--all the settlements of Jair in Bashan, sixty towns, half of Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan). This was for the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh--for half the sons of Makir, according to their clans.

Ephraim is my helmet 
Genesis 33:17 "In majesty he [Joseph] is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim; such are the thousands of Manasseh."

Judah is my scepter 
Genesis 29:35  She [Leah] conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "This time I will praise the LORD." So she named him Judah [praise]. Then she stopped having children.
Deuteronomy 33:7  And this he [Moses] said about Judah: "Hear, LORD, the cry of Judah; bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause. Oh, be his help against his foes!"
Genesis 49:10  "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations will be his."

over Philistia I shout in triumph 
2 Samuel 8:1  In the course of time, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
