Contextual Overview

9 They gave from the tribe of the descendants of Y'hudah and from the tribe of the descendants of Shim‘on these cities here mentioned by name; 10 they were for the descendants of Aharon, of the families of the K'hati, who were among the descendants of Levi; because theirs was the first lot. 11 They gave them: Kiryat-Arba — this Arba was the father of ‘Anak — (that is, Hevron), in the hills of Y'hudah, with the surrounding open land; 12 but the fields and villages of the city they gave to Kalev the son of Y'funeh as his possession. 13 Thus to the descendants of Aharon the cohen they gave: Hevron with its surrounding open land, already a city of refuge for the killer; Livnah with its surrounding open land; 14 Yatir with its surrounding open land; Esht'moa with its surrounding open land; 15 Holon with its surrounding open land; D'vir with its surrounding open land; 16 ‘Ayin with its surrounding open land, Yutah with its surrounding open land and Beit-Shemesh with its surrounding open land — nine cities out of these two tribes. 17 Out of the tribe of Binyamin: Giv‘on with its surrounding open land, Geva with its surrounding open land, 18 ‘Anatot with its surrounding open land and ‘Almon with its surrounding open land — four cities.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jarmuth: This seems to be the same city with Remeth, Joshua 10:19, Joshua 10:21, and Ramoth, 1 Chronicles 6:73, mentioned with Engannim. Joshua 10:3, Joshua 10:23, Joshua 12:11

Reciprocal: Joshua 19:21 - Engannim 1 Chronicles 6:72 - Daberath

Cross-References

1 Samuel 15:14

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Jarmuth with her suburbs,.... Called Ramoth, 1 Chronicles 6:73; very probably the same with Remeth, Joshua 19:21;

Engannim with her suburbs; called Anem, 1 Chronicles 6:73;

four cities; so many are mentioned by name.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Joshua 19:18, etc. Of the cities of the Gershonites, for Beesh-terah read (Beeshterah.) The name is a contraction of Beth-Ashterah (“house of Ashterah”) and the city is undoubtedly the Ashtaroth or Astaroth of Og Joshua 12:4; Deu 1:4; 1 Chronicles 6:71.
