COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
1. Anathoth —a town in Benjamin, twenty stadia, that is, two or three miles north of Jerusalem; now Anata (compare :- , and the context, :- ). One of the four cities allotted to the Kohathites in Benjamin ( Joshua 21:18 ). Compare 1 Kings 2:26 ; 1 Kings 2:27 ; a stigma was cast thenceforth on the whole sacerdotal family resident there; this may be alluded to in the words here, "the priests . . . in Anathoth." God chooses "the weak, base, and despised things . . . to confound the mighty." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
