1 Chronicles 18
KingComments1 Chronicles 18:1
The Levite Cities
The Levite cities listed here can also be found in Joshua 21 (Joshua 21:1-45; for further explanation see the comments on Joshua). There are forty-eight Levite cities. They are scattered throughout the land, as Jacob foretold about Levi in his prophetic address to his sons (Genesis 49:7).
These cities are given to the Levites by the other tribes. This does not mean that they have actually taken possession of these cities. For example, we know from Judges 1 that the tribes did not succeed in conquering all cities. This may also explain some differences that exists between the list here and in Joshua 21.

1 Chronicles 18:6
Introduction
In this chapter we have an almost complete overview of the other tribes. Only Dan and Zebulun are missing. These tribes probably did not make any work of the genealogies. This also applies to Naphtali, although he can mention a few names in any case.
Descendants of Issaschar
With three tribes it is mentioned that there are “mighty men of valor”. That is here with Issachar (1 Chronicles 7:2), and then with Benjamin, three times (1 Chronicles 7:7; 9; 11) and with Asher (1 Chronicles 7:40). Among these mighty men, the name “Tola” stands out because in the book of Judges we read of a certain “Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar” (Judges 10:1), who has “judged Israel twenty-three years” (Judges 10:2).
There is also talk of “troops of the army for war” (1 Chronicles 7:4). That there are so many of them is because there are many women and sons. The women contribute by giving birth to children.
