Matthew Henry on Ezra 2:23
Anathoth had been a famous place in the tribe of Benjamin and yet here it numbered but 128 (v. 23), which is to be imputed to the divine curse which the men of Anathoth brought upon themselves by persecuting Jeremiah, who was of their city. Jer. xi. 21, 23, There shall be no remnant of them, for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth. And see Isa. x. 30, O poor Anathoth!
