Quick answer
From Issachar the Gershonites receive Kishion and Daberath, each with pasturelands. The allotment continues among the northern tribes.
Overview
These towns in Issachar's territory supplied the Gershonite Levites with homes in the fertile central-northern region. The steady listing shows the thoroughness of God's provision for this Levite clan. Each named city marks another point where ministers of God were settled to serve and teach His people.
