Contextual Overview

9 They gave out of the tribe of the children of Yehudah, and out of the tribe of the children of Shim`on, these cities which are [here] mentioned by name: 10 and they were for the children of Aharon, of the families of the Kehati, who were of the children of Levi; for theirs was the first lot. 11 They gave them Kiryat-Arba, [which Arba was] the father of `Anak (the same is Hevron), in the hill-country of Yehudah, with the suburbs of it round about it. 12 But the fields of the city, and the villages of it, gave they to Kalev the son of Yefunneh for his possession. 13 To the children of Aharon the Kohen they gave Hevron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Livna with its suburbs, 14 and Yattir with its suburbs, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs, 15 and Holon with its suburbs, and Devir with its suburbs, 16 and `Ayin with its suburbs, and Yuttah with its suburbs, [and] Beit-Shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes. 17 Out of the tribe of Binyamin, Giv`on with its suburbs, Geva with its suburbs, 18 `Anatot with its suburbs, and `Almon with its suburbs; four cities.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Kibzaim with her suburbs,.... Which seems to, be the same with Jokneam, 1 Chronicles 6:68; of it we read nowhere else;

and Bethhoron with her suburbs; upper Bethhoron, for there were two, an upper and a nether: see Joshua 16:3;

four cities; as mentioned by name.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of the cities of the non-priestly Kohathites, for Kibzaim we find Jokmeam in 1 Chronicles 6:68. This is perhaps another name for the same place, since both names may be derived from roots having a similar meaning; and for Gath-rimmon in 1 Chronicles 6:70, Bileam is given, and probably correctly; Gath-rimmon having apparently been repeated inadvertently from the preceding verse. Bileam is but another form of Ibleam Joshua 17:11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 21:22. Beth-horon — There were two cities of this name, the upper and the nether; but which is intended here, cannot be ascertained.
