דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק נ״ג

The ongoing allocation of land ensures that the Levites receive their designated dwelling places from across the various tribal territories. As the historical record details these specific locations, a point of agreement emerges among the commentators regarding the city of Jokmeam. They conclude that this location is identical to the city of Kibzaim, which is recorded in the parallel account of Levite cities found in the Book of Joshua.

Furthermore, specific portions of land were carefully set aside from the other tribes to fulfill this requirement. From the territory belonging to the tribe of Ephraim, the city of Beth-horon was separated and officially granted to the Levites [רד״ק].
