Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth — Gibeon holds immense theological significance; the Gibeonites will deceive Israel into a covenant that becomes binding (Joshua 9), and Gibeon becomes a sanctuary site (1 Kings 3). Ramah appears frequently in later history (Samuel's birthplace, religious center). The inclusion of these significant cities affirms Benjamin's role in Israel's subsequent history. Geography determines destiny; the cities assigned now will bear witness to future covenantal drama.
