These are the places where Aaron’s descendants lived. His descendants from the Kohath family group received the first share of the land. They were given the city of Hebron in Judah and the pastures around it, but the fields farther from the city and the villages near Hebron were given to Caleb son of Jephunneh. So the descendants of Aaron were given Hebron, one of the cities of safety. They also received the towns and pastures of Libnah, Jattir, Eshtemoa, Hilen, Debir, Ashan, Juttah, and Beth Shemesh. They also received these towns and pastures from the tribe of Benjamin: Gibeon, Geba, Alemeth, and Anathoth. The Kohath family groups received a total of thirteen towns.

Written following their return from exile, Chronicles is a theological retelling of Israel's monarchial history. In this post-exilic season, doubt and apathy plagued God's people and their trust in His promises. The Chronicler responds by reminding Israel of God's faithfulness from Adam to Moses to David and ultimately points toward a Greater David to come.
