By using the method of density-matrix renormalization-group theory, the ground state entanglement in the spin$-1/2$ isotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is studied when there are domain walls generated by a boundary magnetic field. It is found that the pairwise entanglement of odd-bond two qubits decreases and even-bond two qubits increases to stable values alternately when the magnetic field increases. The pairwise entanglement of odd-bond can equal to that of even-bond for a suitable value of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field increases further, the entanglement of even-bond can be larger than that of odd-bond. The entanglement entropy increases and then almost saturates as the number of spin sites increases. Due to the domain walls, the entanglement entropy of even-bond decreases to a minimum value and then increases as the magnetic field increases.
