Anathoth with her suburbs,.... This is not mentioned among the cities of Benjamin, Jos 18:11; it was the native place of the Prophet Jeremiah, See Gill on "Jer 1:1"; it lay about two or three miles north of Jerusalem; three, says, Jerom .
Rauwolff speaks of it as a small village, when he travelled into those parts, and as lying on a height or eminence, and which was within twenty furlongs of Jerusalem, as Josephus writes :and Almon with her suburbs; this also is not mentioned among the cities of Benjamin, Jos 18:11; it is called Alemeth, 1Ch 6:60.
Jarchi and Kimchi say it is the same with Bahurim, 2Sa 3:16; where the Targum renders it by Almeth, and both words signify the same thing, "youth":four cities; which were a large number for so small a tribe as little Benjamin to give.
