Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest,.... The families of the Kohathites, that part of them which descended from him, and were priests:
Hebron with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; that had slain a person unawares, and without design; see on Joshua 20:3;
and Libnah with her suburbs; a royal city, of which see
Joshua 10:29.
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.
