Quick answer
Reuben's cities further included Kiriathaim, Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley.
Overview
These towns completed part of Reuben's holdings in the Moabite plateau region. Sibmah was later known for its vineyards (Isaiah 16:8-9). The careful record of each city underscores that God's provision reached down to the smallest detail of His people's life and land.
