Contextual Overview

⁵⁴ Now these are their dwelling-places according to their encampments in their borders: to the sons of Aharon, of the families of the Kehati (for theirs was the [first] lot), ⁵⁵ to them they gave Hevron in the land of Yehudah, and the suburbs of it round about it; ⁵⁶ but the fields of the city, and the villages of it, they gave to Kalev the son of Yefunneh. ⁵⁷ To the sons of Aharon they gave the cities of refuge, Hevron; Livna also with its suburbs, and Yattir, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs, ⁵⁸ and Hilen with its suburbs, Devir with its suburbs, ⁵⁹ and `Ashan with its suburbs, and Beit-Shemesh with its suburbs; <sup>60</sup> and out of the tribe of Binyamin, Geva with its suburbs, and `Allemet with its suburbs, and `Anatot with its suburbs. All their cities throughout their families were thirteen cities. ⁶¹ To the rest of the sons of Kehat [were given] by lot, out of the family of the tribe, out of the half-tribe, the half of Menashsheh, ten cities. ⁶² To the sons of Gershom, according to their families, out of the tribe of Yissakhar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naftali, and out of the tribe of Menashsheh in Bashan, thirteen cities. ⁶³ To the sons of Merari [were given] by lot, according to their families, out of the tribe of Re'uven, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zevulun, twelve cities.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Hilen: i.e. fortress, [Strong's H2432], or, Holon. Joshua 15:51, Joshua 21:15, This variation simply arises from the introduction of a י yood, and a change of the vowel points; Holon being written חלן [Strong's H2473], and Hilen חילן [Strong's H2432]. Joshua 15:51, Joshua 21:15, Holon

Debir: Joshua 10:3, Joshua 10:38, Joshua 12:13, Joshua 15:49

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The writer evidently had before him Joshua 21:0, which he followed, as to its matter, closely. In some cases he perhaps modernised the ancient names (1 Chronicles 6:58, 1 Chronicles 6:60, 1 Chronicles 6:72, etc.); in a few he substituted for the old an entirely new name, the modern apellation, probably, of the ancient site 1 Chronicles 6:70, 1 Chronicles 6:77. At one time, it would seem, his intention was to give the cities of the priests only, and to content himself with stating the mere number of the rest. His account of the matter was then brought to a conclusion, and summed up, in 1 Chronicles 6:64. But, afterward, either he or a later writer thought it best to add to the list of the priestly cities the information contained in Judges as to those which were not priestly, but merely Levitical. The passage 1 Chronicles 6:65-81 was then added.

The entire account has suffered much from corruption. In the first list two names, those of Juttah and Gideon, have dropped out. It is necessary to restore them in order to complete the number of thirteen cities 1 Chronicles 6:60. In the second list 1 Chronicles 6:67-70 there is likewise an omission of two cities, Eltekeh and Gibbethon, which are wanted to make up the number ten 1 Chronicles 6:61. The third list is complete, though some of the names are very different from these of Joshua. In the fourth, two names are again wanting, those of Jokneam and Kartah.

1 Chronicles 6:61

Unto the sons of Kohath which were left - i. e. to such of them as were not priests.

Out of the half tribe ... ten cities - The half tribe furnished two cities only (1 Chronicles 6:70, and compare Joshua 21:25). It is evident therefore that something has fallen out. We may supply from Joshua the words “out of Ephraim and out of Dan, and” before “out of the half tribe.”

1 Chronicles 6:77

Unto the rest of the children of Merari - Rather, “Unto the rest the children of Merari” - that is to say, “unto the remainder of the Levites, who were descendants of Merari”: - the two other branches, the Kohathites and the Gershomites, having been treated of previously.
