the descendants of Ater
The phrase "the descendants of Ater" refers to a specific family lineage within the post-exilic community of Israel. The name "Ater" means "left-handed" or "bound" in Hebrew, which may indicate a characteristic or notable trait of the family's ancestor. This lineage is significant as it represents the continuity of the Jewish people returning from Babylonian exile. The mention of specific families underscores the importance of heritage and identity in the restoration of Jerusalem. It highlights the faithfulness of God in preserving His people through generations, even in times of displacement and hardship.

through Hezekiah
The inclusion of "through Hezekiah" suggests a connection to a notable figure, possibly King Hezekiah of Judah, known for his faithfulness and reforms. This connection may imply a noble or respected lineage, emphasizing the importance of godly leadership and influence. Hezekiah's reign was marked by a return to the worship of Yahweh and the removal of idolatry, which aligns with the themes of restoration and renewal in Nehemiah. The mention of Hezekiah serves as a reminder of the impact that righteous leadership can have on a community, inspiring future generations to remain faithful to God's covenant.

98
The number "98" represents the specific count of individuals from the family of Ater who returned to Jerusalem. This precise enumeration reflects the meticulous record-keeping and organization necessary for the rebuilding efforts. It also signifies the collective commitment of these individuals to participate in the restoration of their homeland. Each person counted is a testament to the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back to their land. The number, though seemingly small, is a powerful reminder that God values each individual and that every person has a role to play in His divine plan. This encourages believers to recognize their unique contributions to the body of Christ and the work of His kingdom.

Verse 21. - The children of Ater. Up to this Nehemiah observes the same order as Ezra; but the remaining personal names (three) are placed differently.
