Quick answer
The men of the other Nebo returned, numbering 52. A small town's remnant is faithfully recorded.
Overview
Called the other Nebo to distinguish it from the Moabite site, this town's small return of 52 is still preserved in the record. The careful naming guards against confusion and honors even the least household. God's attention to such detail reflects His intimate knowledge of every member of His people.
