Anathoth. Famous later as the birthplace of Jeremiah (Jer. 1:1; 11:21). The modern name of the site is Râs el–Kharrûbeh, which is 1 1/4 mi. (2 km.) northeast from Mt. Scopus, Jerusalem, and a little southeast of Gibeah. In Jeremiah’s day it was still a priestly city (Jer. 1:1). It was also the home of Abiathar and the place to which he was banished for participation in the revolt of Adonijah (1 Kings 2:26).
