Aner and Bileam are mentioned in Chronicles, instead of Tanach and Gath-rimmon ( Ch1 6:70). Either the cities had at this time different names, or afterwards their names were changed; or the Levites, being by some means dispossessed of the cities first assigned them, received others from their brethren. A careful examination of the marginal references will discover other variations of this kind, which may be accounted for in the same manner. Tanach: Jos 17:11; Jdg 5:19 Joshua 21:27
