Joshua 21:22 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 21:22

And Kibzaim with her suburbs
Which seems to, be the same with Jokneam, ( 1 Chronicles 6:68 ) ; of it we read nowhere else; and Bethhoron with her suburbs;
upper Bethhoron, for there were two, an upper and a nether: see ( Joshua 16:3 Joshua 16:5 ) ; four cities;
as mentioned by name.

22 Kibzaim, and Beth Horon, with their pastures - four towns.
23 From the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon,
24 Aijalon, and Gath Rimmon, all with their pastures - four towns.
