נחמיה, פרק ז׳, פסוק כ״א

When documenting the groups returning from exile, the records specifically link the family of Ater to Hezekiah. This connection serves as a clear identifier, showing that this particular Ater was a direct descendant of Hezekiah. Alternatively, the link might not point to ancestry, but rather indicate a grouping of two distinct families. From this perspective, the final count of ninety-eight men is a combined total that includes both the descendants of Ater and the descendants of Hezekiah [מצודת דוד].
