דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק מ״ט

The distribution of the land required specific provisions for the tribe of Levi. Granting them cities along with the surrounding open areas marks a practical stage in the broader division of the territory. The narrative repeats the action of giving these lands simply to serve as a formal introduction, setting the stage for the detailed list of city names that immediately follows [מצודת דוד].

This allocation points directly to the thirteen cities granted to the descendants of Aaron. These locations were drawn from the inherited territories of the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, continuing a process established during earlier phases of the distribution [רלב״ג].
