Cross-References
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne him any children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.
"As for Ishmael, I have heard and listened to you; behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful and will greatly multiply him [through his descendants]. He will be the father of twelve princes (chieftains, sheiks), and I will make him a great nation.
The LORD graciously remembered and visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for her as He had promised.
Abraham named his son Isaac (laughter), the son to whom Sarah gave birth.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born.
Sarah said, "God has made me laugh; all who hear [about our good news] will laugh with me."
"And I will also make a nation of [Ishmael] the son of the maid, because he is your descendant."
So Abraham got up early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder, and gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she left [but lost her way] and wandered [aimlessly] in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
so now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal unfairly with me [by breaking any agreements we have] or with my son or with my descendants, but as I have treated you with kindness, you shall do the same to me and to the land in which you have sojourned (temporarily lived)."
And Abraham said, "I will swear."

and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon; which is joined with that of Judah, because the cities of it lay within it, Joshua 19:1;
these cities which are [here] mentioned by name; Joshua 21:13.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The thirteen priestly cities (see the marginal references) were all in the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin. Thus, as Calvin remarks, God so overruled it that the priestly families were placed upon the spot which He had determined before hand to choose as the site of His temple.
