Contextual Overview

⁹ From the tribes of the children of Judah and the children of Simeon they gave these towns, listed here by name: ¹⁰ These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution. ¹¹ They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands. ¹² But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property. ¹³ And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Libnah with its grass-lands; ¹⁴ And Jattir with its grass-lands, and Eshtemoa with its grass-lands; ¹⁵ And Holon with its grass-lands, and Debir with its grass-lands; ¹⁶ And Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their grass-lands; nine towns from those two tribes. ¹⁷ And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave Gibeon and Geba with their grass-lands; ¹⁸ Anathoth and Almon with their grass-lands, four towns.

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.
