The author is providing background information to help readers recognize that Hebron is the same city that they may have known as Kiriath Arba. He is also providing information about the man Arba for whom the city was originally named. In your translation, present this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

See how you translated the similar expression in 11:23. Alternate translation: “And there was no more war in the land”
After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
