The men of Anathoth - It is pleasant to see so many of this Jewish town returning. It was a city of the Levites; but the people spurned Jeremiah’s warning and called forth against themselves one of his severest predictions (Jer 32:27-35). This prophecy was fulfilled in the Assyrian conquest. Anathoth was laid waste and continued a heap of ruins. But the people, having been brought during the captivity to a better state of mind, returned, and their city was rebuilt.
