Quick answer
From the half-tribe of Manasseh they received Aner and Bileam for the rest of the Kohathites. This completes the Kohathite cities.
Overview
The remaining Kohathite families were settled with towns from western Manasseh, rounding out their allotment. The careful distribution ensured that every Kohathite household had a place among the tribes. It displays the comprehensiveness of God's provision, leaving none of his appointed servants without a home.
