Contextual Overview
9 They gave from the families of Judah and Simeon the cities given here by name. 10 They were for the sons of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, of the sons of Levi. For their name was drawn first. 11 They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) with the fields around it in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the father of Anak.) 12 But the city's fields and towns had been given to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his own. 13 So to the sons of Aaron the religious leader they gave Hebron and Libnah with their fields. Hebron was the city where one who killed a man could go to be safe. 14 And they gave them Jattir with its fields, Eshtemoa with its fields, 15 Holon with its fields, Debir with its fields, 16 Ain with its fields, Juttah with its fields, and Bethshemesh with its fields. There were nine cities from these two family groups. 17 From the family of Benjamin were given Gibeon with its fields, Geba with its fields, 18 Anathoth with its fields, and Almon with its fields, four cities.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Ain with her suburbs,.... :-;
and Juttah with her suburbs; :-;
[and] Bethshemesh with her suburbs; which is not mentioned among the cities of Judah, Joshua 15:21; only as in the borders of it,
Joshua 21:10; and perhaps is the same Bethshemesh to which the ark was directed by the Philistines from Ashdod, 1 Samuel 6:9; in it formerly was a temple dedicated to the sun, from whence it had its name:
nine cities out of those two tribes; and they seem all but one, which is Ain, to be of the tribe of Judah, and that originally belonged to it; and as that tribe had the largest number of cities in its lot, the more were given out of it to the Levites, according to a rule prescribed, Numbers 35:8.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The thirteen priestly cities (see the marginal references) were all in the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin. Thus, as Calvin remarks, God so overruled it that the priestly families were placed upon the spot which He had determined before hand to choose as the site of His temple.
