Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Shechem: Joshua 20:7, Genesis 33:19, Judges 9:1, 1 Kings 12:1

Gezer: Joshua 16:10, 1 Kings 9:15-17, 1 Chronicles 6:67

Reciprocal: Numbers 35:6 - six cities for refuge Joshua 10:33 - Gezer Joshua 17:7 - Shechem

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For they gave them Shechem, with her suburbs, in Mount Ephraim,.... Of which see Joshua 20:7;

[to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; which being on a mountain, was the more conspicuous, and the fitter for this purpose, as was Hebron in the hill country of Judea, Joshua 21:11; this is the second; city of refuge mentioned:

and Gezer with her suburbs: a place from whence the Canaanites were not expelled; Joshua 21:11- :.

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.
