The catalog turns to the mountains, the central highlands of Judah, naming Shamir, Jattir, and Socoh. Jattir would later be set apart as a city for the priests and a place to which David sent gifts.

The high country, with its cooler air and defensible ridges, was part of the varied inheritance. Among its towns were places consecrated to God's service. The Lord gave His people a land of many regions, and through it all He kept room for worship and for His own.
