1 Chronicles 12:3

The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the
Gibeathite
Who was of Gibeah, in the tribe of Benjamin, sometimes called Gibeah of Benjamin, and of Saul, it being his birthplace, see ( 1 Samuel 11:4 ) ( 13:1 ) and so these might be some of his kindred: and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth;
there is one of this name in the posterity of Jonathan, ( 1 Chronicles 8:36 ) who might be so called after some of his relations: and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite;
or Anethothite, as the Vulgate Latin version, who was of Anathoth, a city in the tribe of Benjamin, the native place of Jeremiah the prophet.
