1 Chronicles 6:54-81
am 2561, bc 1443 these are Num 35:1-8; Josh 21:3-8 castles Gen 25:16; Num 31:10; Ps 69:25; Prov 18:10-11; Eph 3:8 of the families Josh 21:4-5 for theirs Josh 21:4 Hebron Josh 14:13, Josh 15:13, Josh 21:11-13; Judg 1:20 the fields Josh 14:13, Josh 15:13 Caleb 1Chr 4:15 they gave 1Sam 22:10; 2Chr 31:15 the city of refuge Num 35:13-15; Josh 20:7-9 Libnah Josh 10:29, Josh 15:42, Josh 21:13-14 Jattir 1Chr 4:17; Josh 15:48 Hilen i.e. fortress, H2432, or, Holon. Josh 15:51, Josh 21:15; This variation simply arises from the introduction of a ι yood, and a change of the vowel points; Holon being written ημο H2473, and Hilen ηιμο H2432.] Josh 15:51, Josh 21:15, Holon Debir Josh 10:3, Josh 10:38, Josh 12:13, Josh 15:49 Ashan It is probable that either Ain, in Joshua, is a mistake for Ashan, or that it was called by both names. 1Chr 4:32; Josh 15:42, Josh 21:16, Ain Bethshemesh Josh 15:10, Josh 21:16; 1Sam 6:12-19; Jer 43:13 Geba 1Chr 8:6; Josh 18:24, Josh 21:17; 1Sam 13:3 Alemeth i.e. covering a hiding place, H5954. Josh 21:18, Almon Anathoth 1Chr 7:8; 1Kgs 2:26; Isa 10:30; Jer 1:1, Jer 11:23, Jer 37:12 thirteen cities Here there are only eleven enumerated; but two more are added in the book of Joshua, Juttah and Gibeon, which make thirteen. Josh 10:2, Josh 15:55, Josh 21:16-17; 1Chr 14:16; None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated. And unto 1Chr 6:1-2, 1Chr 6:18, 1Chr 6:33 left 1Chr 6:66; Josh 21:4-5, Josh 21:20-26 by lot Josh 14:2 ten cities Josh 21:26 Gershom 1Chr 6:71-76; Exod 2:22; Josh 21:27-33 Merari 1Chr 6:77-81; Gen 46:11; Num 3:20; Josh 21:7, Josh 21:34-40 the children Josh 21:41-42 with their Num 35:2-5 these cities 1Chr 6:57-60 the residue 1Chr 6:61; Josh 21:20-26 Shechem Gen 33:18, Gen 35:4; Josh 20:7, Josh 21:21 Gezer Josh 12:12, Josh 16:3, Josh 16:10, Josh 21:21; 1Kgs 9:16 Jokmeam i.e. gathered of the people; he will establish the people, H3361, 1Chr 6:68; 1Kgs 4:12, Probably the same as Kibzaim, Josh 21:22 Bethhoron Josh 10:10-11, Josh 16:5; 1Sam 13:18 Aijalon Josh 10:12, Ajalon, Josh 21:24 Gathrimmon Josh 21:24-25 Aner Aner is probably another name of Tanach, which was a city of the half tribe of Manasseh, west of Jordan; and Eusebius, Jerome, and Procopius of Gaza, say that it was in their time a considerable place, three miles from Legio. Josh 21:25, Tanach, Gath-rimmon Bileam i.e. devouring; foreigner, H1109. Compare the same Hebrew word rendered Balaam. Num 22:5; Ibleam is here called Bileam, by a transposition of letters common to all languages. It is evident, however, that many of these cities or their names have been changed since the time of Joshua; but, as it has been well observed, Salop and Shrewsbury, Sarum and Salisbury, are as different names as any in these catalogues; yet those who live in their vicinity are not at all confused by them. Some cities also are here mentioned as belonging to Ephraim, which in Joshua are spoken of as cities of Dan; but various changes in such matters would occur in a course of ages.
