27. Abiezer the Anethothite] Of Anathoth in Benjamin. The modern village of Anâta, three miles N.N.E. of Jerusalem, preserves the name and marks the site. It was a priests city (Jos_21:18); the home of Abiathar (1Ki_2:26); and the birth-place of the prophet Jeremiah (Jer_1:1). Antothite (1Ch_11:28), and Anetothite (1Ch_27:12), are merely different transliterations of the same Heb. word. In the latter passage Abiezer is named as the general of the ninth division of the army.
Mebunnai the Hushathite] Mebunnai (מבני) is doubtless a textual error for Sibbechai (מבכי), the consonants being very similar and easily confused in the original text, which had no vowels. Sibbechai won renown by slaying the giant Saph (ch. 2Sa_21:18), and commanded the eighth division of the army (1Ch_27:11). His native place Hushah must have been in Judah, as it is mentioned among the places occupied by the descendants of Judah (1Ch_4:4), but nothing further is known about it. He belonged to the important clan of the Zarhites, descended from Zerah the son of Judah (1Ch_2:4).

Mebunnai.—According to 2Sa_21:18 Sibbechai, and to 1Ch_11:29 Sibbecai, these being the same in the Hebrew. The two names are much alike in the original and might be easily confused. He slew the giant Saph (2Sa_21:18), and was the general for the eighth month (1Ch_27:11).

Abiezer. He had the command of the ninth brigade. (1Ch_27:12) Anathoth, now Mata, was a priestly city in Benjamin (Jos_21:18) the home of Abiathar, (1Ki_2:26) and the birthplace of Jeremiah. (Jer_1:1) Anethothite and Antothite, in the parallel places in Chronicles, are merely different ways of pronouncing the same Hebrew consonants. Mebunnai. Written Sibbechai in 2Sa_21:18, and, as the name is so written in both the parallel places in Chronicles, Mebunnai is probably a mistake. In 1Ch_27:11 he is said to have been commander of the eighth brigade, and to have been a Zarhite of the town of Hushah, in the tribe of Judah. (see 1Ch_4:4)
