Context of 1 Chronicles 6:62

60From the tribe of Benjamin they were given Geba and its pasturelands, Alemeth and its pasturelands, and Anathoth and its pasturelands. They had thirteen towns in all among their families. 61To the rest of the Kohathites, ten towns from half the tribe of Manasseh were assigned by lot. The Gershomites were assigned thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Manasseh in Bashan according to their families. 63The Merarites were assigned by lot twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun according to their families. 64So the Israelites gave these towns and their pasturelands to the Levites.
