the descendants of Ater
The name "Ater" means "left-handed" or "bound" in Hebrew. This reference to the descendants of Ater highlights the importance of family lineage and heritage in the post-exilic community. The genealogical records were crucial for establishing identity and continuity among the Israelites returning from Babylonian exile. Ater's family, like many others, played a role in the restoration of Jerusalem and the re-establishment of the Jewish community. This underscores the biblical theme of God’s faithfulness in preserving His people through generations.

(through Hezekiah)
The mention of "Hezekiah" here is significant, as it connects this family line to a notable figure in Jewish history. Hezekiah was a king of Judah known for his faithfulness to God and his efforts to purify worship in the temple. This connection may not imply direct descent from King Hezekiah but rather a familial or tribal association. It serves as a reminder of the spiritual heritage and the call to live up to the legacy of faithfulness and devotion to God, as exemplified by Hezekiah.

98
The specific number "98" indicates the precision and care with which the genealogical records were kept. Each family and individual counted in these records represents a personal account of return and restoration. The number also reflects the relatively small size of some family groups, emphasizing the remnant nature of the returning exiles. Despite their small numbers, each person was vital to the rebuilding efforts and the re-establishment of the covenant community in Jerusalem. This highlights the biblical principle that God values each individual and that every person has a role in His divine plan.
