Quick answer
The Benjamites also lived in Anathoth, Nob, and Ananiah. The settlement of Benjamin's towns continues.
Overview
Anathoth was the hometown of the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:1), and Nob had once been a city of priests. The reoccupation of these towns links the restored community to its prophetic and priestly heritage. The record affirms God's faithfulness in restoring even places marked by earlier judgment and significance.
