Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 6:68
And Jokmeam with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs,
68. Jokmeam ] In Jos 21:22 Kibzaim. The two words resemble one another more closely in Hebrew, and are to be taken as various readings of the same name. Nothing is known of a Kibzaim in Ephraim. A Jokmeam is mentioned 1Ki 4:12.
Beth-horon ] Jos 10:10-11; Jos 16:3; Jos 16:5; 1Ma 3:24 . There were two cities, a lower and an upper Beth-horon, to which at the present day a lower and an upper Beitur, an hour’s journey apart, correspond. Bdeker, p. 18.

(68) Jokmeam.Joshua has Kibzaim, a name omitted by the LXX. Vatic. Jokmeam is probably right. The other might easily be a misreading of it, owing to confusion of similar letters. The site is unknown. The four cities of 1Ch. 6:67-68 lay in Ephraim. Beth-horon, Gibeon, and Aijalon, the scenes of the great and providentially determined overthrow of the five kings of the Amorites, were appropriately assigned to the sacred tribe of Levi.
