Context of 1 Chronicles 6:58

56But Jephunneh's son, Caleb, had the villages around the city, with their fields. 57Aaron's descendants received these towns with the fields around them: Hebron (a safe city), Libnah, Jattir, Eshtemoa, Hilen, Debir, 59Ashan, Juttah and Beth-Shemesh. 60They also received some towns in land that belonged to Benjamin's tribe. They received these towns with the fields around them: Gibeon, Geba, Alemeth and Anathoth. So there were 13 towns for Aaron's descendants to live in.
