Verse Takeaways

Different Names, Same Place
Commentators note that when comparing lists in Joshua and 1 Chronicles, city names can sometimes differ. For example, they explain that 'Kibzaim' in this verse is likely the same city called 'Jokmeam' in 1 Chronicles 6:68. These variations are not seen as contradictions but as different names for the same place or minor transcription differences over centuries.
