The main town of Hebron would have been surrounded by smaller villages. David and his men, a company of at least six hundred at this point in time (see 1 Samuel 23:13; 1 Samuel 25:13; 1 Samuel 27:2), did not all live in Hebron proper. Some of them went to live in the villages around the town.
3 And David brought up his men who were with him, everyone with his household, and they lived in the towns of Hebron.
