Who this is

Beth-azmaveth, meaning house of Azmaveth, was a town near Jerusalem whose residents are counted among those returning from the Babylonian exile in Nehemiah's list (Neh. 7:28). The parallel list in Ezra 2:24 gives the shorter form Azmaveth for the same place, generally located near Anathoth just north of Jerusalem.
