Quick answer
Benjamites settled in Hazor, Ramah, and Gittaim. The list of Benjamin's towns continues.
Overview
These towns lay within Benjamin's allotted territory north of Jerusalem. Ramah was associated with both sorrow and hope in prophecy (Jeremiah 31:15). By resettling them, the people fully reclaimed their inheritance. The detailed geography continues to bear witness to the concrete reality of God's restoring work.
