Quick answer
More towns of Issachar's allotment are listed, including Remeth, Engannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez. It shows God's faithfulness in giving each tribe a concrete, named place.
Overview
This verse continues the catalog of cities falling to Issachar in the central plain. The plain naming of obscure towns underscores that the promise to Abraham was not a vague hope but a specific, measurable inheritance. God's covenant faithfulness is detailed down to individual villages, a pattern that anticipates the precise inheritance believers receive in Christ.
