Joshua 21:20-26
Josh 21:5; 1Chr 6:66 Shechem Josh 20:7; Gen 33:19; Judg 9:1; 1Kgs 12:1 Gezer Josh 16:10; 1Kgs 9:15-17; 1Chr 6:67 Bethhoron Josh 16:3, Josh 16:5, Josh 18:13-14; 1Chr 6:68 Eltekeh Josh 19:44-45 Gibbethon Probably the Gabatha mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome, as situated in the south of Judah, 12 miles from Eleutheropolis, where the prophet Habakkuk's sepulchre was shown. Aijalon Josh 10:12, Josh 19:42, Ajalon, 1Chr 6:69 Gathrimmon Gathrimmon is said by Jerome to be a great town 10 miles from Diospolis, or Lydda, towards Eleutheropolis. Aner and Bileam are mentioned in Chronicles, instead of Tanach and Gath-rimmon (1Chr 6:70). Either the cities had at this time different names, or afterwards their names were changed; or the Levites, being by some means dispossessed of the cities first assigned them, received others from their brethren. A careful examination of the marginal references will discover other variations of this kind, which may be accounted for in the same manner. Tanach Josh 17:11; Judg 5:19
