יהושע, פרק ט״ו, פסוק ל״ז

The detailed allocation of land to the tribe of Judah organizes numerous settlements into distinct, clustered groups. The cities of Zenan, Hadashah, and Migdal-gad were located in the lowland region, just like the surrounding settlements. However, they are grouped separately from the others to show that they formed an entirely different district within those lowlands.

This method of organization is intentional. The geographic record separates clusters of cities specifically to map out the distinct districts within the territory. This underlying principle—grouping cities by their specific regional districts rather than listing them randomly—guides the entire process of how the land's inheritance was divided and recorded [מצודת דוד].
