Joshuas catalog of Benjamins tribal inheritance names twelve cities — Jericho Beth-hoglah Emek-keziz Beth-arabah Zemaraim Bethel Avim Parah Ophrah Chephar-ammoni Ophni and Geba — that filled the strategic narrow highland between Judah and Ephraim.
Joshua 18:21-24 catalogs the twelve cities of Benjamin's tribal inheritance: "And the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz, And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, And Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages." Benjamin's allotment was the narrow strategic strip between Judah and Ephraim, holding key routes through the central highlands and the Jordan-Valley descent at Jericho.
