The Villages occupied were naturally not far from Jerusalem in general, but Beersheba and Ziklag in the far south are mentioned in verses 27-28. After the names of the chief of the province that had their homes in Jerusalem, then there are given the priests with their duties; likewise the Levites and the porters.
