Joshua 21:9-40

THE CITIES OF THE PRIESTS. (Jos. 21:9-42)

they gave . . . these cities which are here mentioned by name—It was overruled by the unerring providence of the Divine Lawgiver that the cities of the priests lay within the territories of Judah and Benjamin. This was a provision, the admirable wisdom and propriety of which were fully manifested on the schism that took place in the reign of Rehoboam.
