'Nine' in the Bible

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."

by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

Keilah, Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages.

Humtah, Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages.

Ain with its suburbs, Juttah with its suburbs, and Beth Shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
