There are but four mentioned in Jos 19:7 one might be added since, or new built, namely, Tochen; these, according to Kimchi, were all that remained for them to dwell in, in the times of David; and therefore they were obliged to seek out for new settlements for themselves and flocks, as in Ch1 4:39, &c. , &c. 1 Chronicles 4:33 ch1 4:33 ch1 4:33 ch1 4:33And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Baal,.... The same with Baalathbeer, Jos 19:8. these were their habitations, and their genealogy; as before described, until the times of David.
