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.
