In Joshua 15:48, Jattir is listed as a city in Judah's hill country; here it is assigned to the Levites.

In Joshua 15:50, Eshtemoa (as Eshtemoh) is a city in Judah's allotment; here it becomes a Levitical city.

In 1 Chronicles 6:57, Jattir and Eshtemoa are listed again as Levite cities, directly paralleling this verse.

In 1 Samuel 30:28, Eshtemoa appears among cities David rewards; it is the same city given to Levites here.

In 1 Samuel 30:27, David sends spoils to Jattir, confirming it as a known settlement, though in a different context.
