What Does 1 Chronicles 6:65 Mean?
These cities, drawn from Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, were assigned by lot and known each by its own name. The Chronicler underscores again that the distribution was God's appointment, not human arrangement.
That each city was 'called by their names' shows these were real, known places, not a vague provision. God's care for His servants was concrete and particular. He settles His people not in abstraction but in actual homes, attentive to each one by name.
