Gill's Notes on the Bible
All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests,.... Those of the Kohathites that came from him:
[were] thirteen cities with their suburbs; and just so many are mentioned by name in Joshua 21:11.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The thirteen priestly cities (see the marginal references) were all in the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin. Thus, as Calvin remarks, God so overruled it that the priestly families were placed upon the spot which He had determined before hand to choose as the site of His temple.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 21:19. Thirteen cities with their suburbs. — At the time mentioned here certainly thirteen cities were too large a proportion for the priests, as they and their families amounted to a very small number: but this ample provision was made in reference to their great increase in after times, when they formed twenty-four courses, as in the days of David.
