- 1 Chronicles 6:60 The total in verse 60 says that there are thirteen cities, but there are only eleven cities named in the Hebrew text. The two additional names Juttah and Gibeon are present in the list in Joshua 21 and in the ancient versions of this text and, therefore, are added to the translation above.
- 1 Chronicles 6:61 Joshua 21:5 says some of these ten cities were from Dan and Ephraim.
