Abi-ezer of Anathoth, a Benjaminite (verse 12): See 1 Chr 11.28. Of Anathoth is literally “the Anathothite.” Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje says “from the city of Anathoth.” Anathoth was a town about 3 kilometers (about 2 miles) northeast of Jerusalem. Parola Del Signore: La Bibbia in Lingua Corrente does not translate of Anathoth, but there is no textual evidence for doing so. Perhaps this is an error in the Parola Del Signore: La Bibbia in Lingua Corrente translation. A Benjaminite may be rendered “in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin” (Good News Translation, Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje).
