Anathothite — gentilicof Anathoth, designating a person from that Benjamite town
A gentilic adjective identifying someone as a native of Anathoth, the Benjamite town about three miles northeast of Jerusalem. The designation is applied to warriors in David's elite guard — Abiezer (2 Sam 23:27; 1 Chr 11:28; 27:12) and Jehu (1 Chr 12:3) — and to Jeremiah himself in the mocking address of Jer 29:27. The article regularly precedes it: 'the Anathothite.' Spanish 'el anatotita' and German 'der Anathothite' both reproduce this articulated gentilic pattern.
