Commentary

3 notes on this verse
And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs,.... From whence the river Kishon probably had its name, or the city from that; it is the same with Kishion, Jos 19:20; and called Kedesh, 1Ch 6:72. Dabareh with her suburbs; the same with Daberath on the border of Zebulun; see Gill on Jos 19:12.

This site's exposition

unto the children of Gershon

on Joshua 21:27-40

Gershon takes the north and Merari takes Zebulun with Reuben and Gad beyond Jordan, and four of the six refuge cities stand inside these verses at 27, 32, 36 and 38. Kedesh in Galilee is the town Deborah sends to for Barak at Judges 4:6, and Ramoth in Gilead is where Ahab dies in 1 Kings 22:29-37. Heshbon at verse 39 had been Sihon's royal city in Numbers 21:26, and Mahanaim at verse 38 is where Jacob met the angels in Genesis 32:2 and where David sheltered from Absalom in 2 Samuel 17:24. Levites are settled in towns that were Amorite capitals one generation earlier.

proposed

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.
