Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
So everything between Judah's territory and Benjamin's territory, that includes the Levites' land and the city itself, all of that belongs to the prince.
The prince gets the prime real estate right in the center of everything.
