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.
