Contextual Overview
9 And they gave out of the tribe of the sons of Judah, and out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, these cities which are called by name, 10 which the sons of Aaron had, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the sons of Levi. For theirs was the first lot. 11 And they gave them the City of Arba, the father of Anak (which is Hebron) in the hills of Judah, with its open lands around it. 12 But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his own. 13 So they gave Hebron and its open lands to the sons of Aaron the priest as a city of refuge for the slayer, and Libnah and its open lands, 14 and Jattir and its open lands, and Eshtemoa and its open lands, 15 and Holon and its open lands, and Debir and its open lands, 16 and Ain and its open lands, and Juttah and its open lands, and Beth-shemesh and its open lands; nine cities out of those two tribes. 17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon and its open lands, Geba and its open lands, 18 Anathoth and its open lands, and Almon and its open lands; four cities.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites,.... Who were not priests:
which remained of the children of Kohath; these are the children of Moses, as Jarchi says, and those that descended from Kohath in the lines of Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,
even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim; and were as follow.
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.
