Quick answer
From Naphtali they received Kedesh in Galilee, Hammon, and Kiriathaim with their pasturelands. This completes the Gershomite cities.
Overview
Kedesh in Galilee was a city of refuge in the far north, granted here to the Gershomites. With towns now spread from Manasseh through Issachar, Asher, and Naphtali, the Gershomite allotment is complete. The wide distribution shows God placing his servants and his places of refuge across the whole breadth of the land.
