Commentary for Joshua 21:18

אֶת־עֲנָתוֹת֙ וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶׁ֔הָ וְאֶת־עַלְמ֖וֹן וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶׁ֑הָ עָרִ֖ים אַרְבַּֽע׃

Anathoth with the open land about it, and Almon with the open land about it; four cities.

Rashi on Joshua

And Almon. In Sefer Divrei haYomim it is rendered: and Olemes this is similar to Bachurim which Yonason translates as Alomos.3Both words בַחוּרִים and עַלָמוֹת refer to youth.
