9 Of the tribes of the children of Juda and of Simeon Josue gave cities: whose names are these, 10 To the sons of Aaron, of the families of Caath of the race of Levi (for the first lot came out for them) 11 The city of Arbe the father of Enac, which is called Hebron, in the mountain of Juda, and the suburbs thereof round about. 12 But the fields and the villages thereof he had given to Caleb the son of Jephone for his possession. 13 He gave therefore to the children of Aaron the priest, Hebron a city of refuge, and the suburbs thereof, and Lebna with the suburbs thereof, 14 And Jether and Estemo, 15 And Holon, and Dabir, 16 And Ain, and Jeta, and Bethsames, with their suburbs: nine cities out of the two tribes, as hath been said. 17 And out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, Gabaon, and Gabae, 18 And Anathoth and Almon, with, their suburbs: four cities.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

All the cities [were] ten, with their suburbs,.... Four out of Ephraim, four out of Dan, and two out of the half tribe of Manasseh: which were

for the families of the children of Kohath that remained: who were of the other branch of the Kohathites, and who did not descend from Aaron, and were only Levites, and not priests; :-.

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.
