And unto: Joshua 21:6

Golan: Joshua 20:8, Deuteronomy 1:4, Deuteronomy 4:43, 1 Chronicles 6:71

Beeshterah: It is very probable that Beesh-terah is a contraction of baith ashtaroth, "the house of Ashtaroth," and the same as Ashtaroth, which is the reading in 1 Chronicles 6:71.

Reciprocal: Numbers 35:6 - six cities for refuge 1 Chronicles 6:62 - Gershom

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites,.... The descendants of the second son of Levi:

out of the [other] half tribe of Manasseh; that which was settled beyond Jordan:

[they gave] Golan in Bashan, with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; see Joshua 20:8; this is the third city of refuge mentioned:

and Beeshterah with her suburbs; called Ashtaroth, 1 Chronicles 6:71; which had been the royal city of Og, king of Bashan, where he had his palace, Deuteronomy 1:4. Here seems to have been formerly a temple dedicated to the goddess Astarte; for Beeshterah is a compound of "Beth" and "Ashterah", or Astarte; that is, the house or temple of Astarte, but now become a city of the Levites:

two cities; two more having been before given out of the other half tribe.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Joshua 19:18, etc. Of the cities of the Gershonites, for Beesh-terah read (Beeshterah.) The name is a contraction of Beth-Ashterah (“house of Ashterah”) and the city is undoubtedly the Ashtaroth or Astaroth of Og Joshua 12:4; Deu 1:4; 1 Chronicles 6:71.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 21:27. Golan in Bashan — On this and the other cities of refuge mentioned here, Joshua 20:7.
