Azmaveth (Place)

A town near Anathoth.

Forty-two men from the town returned from the exile to Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:24). It is called “Beth-azmaveth” in Nehemiah 7:28. Later, Azmaveth gave singers to help celebrate the dedication of the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 12:29). It is modern-day Hizmeh, a site eight kilometers (five miles) north of Jerusalem.
