This Anathoth entry refers to a Benjaminite son of Becher, not to the town or the covenant signatory of the same name. He belongs to the internal family structure of Benjamin. First appears in 1 Chr 7:8.1

AI summary: This Anathoth matters because his single cross reference places him among the sons of Becher, helping define one branch of Benjamin's remembered descent.
