1 Chronicles 4:32
"And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And their villages were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities. There are but four mentioned in Jos 19:7 one might be added since, or new built,

namely, Tochen; these, according to Kimchi, were all that remained for them to dwell in, in the times of David; and therefore they were obliged to seek out for new settlements for themselves and flocks, as in Ch1 4:39 , &c.
