HANANIAH

1. Zerubbabel’s son and a descendant of David (1 Chr 3:19, 21).

2. Benjamite and the son of Shashak (1 Chr 8:24).

3. Heman’s son and the leader of the 16th of 24 divisions of musicians trained for service in the house of the Lord (1 Chr 25:4, 23).

4. One of the commanders of King Uzziah’s army (2 Chr 26:11).

6. Perfumer who helped Nehemiah rebuild the Jerusalem wall (Neh 3:8).

7. Shelemiah’s son, who with Hanun repaired a section of the Jerusalem wall during the days of Nehemiah (Neh 3:30). He is perhaps identical with #6 above.

8. Commander of the citadel of Jerusalem who was assigned by Nehemiah to rule the city jointly with Hanani, Nehemiah’s brother. Hananiah, described as a faithful and God-fearing man, was appointed the task of seeing that the city walls and gates were regularly guarded (Neh 7:2-3).

12. Gibeonite and the son of Azzur. Hananiah prophesied during the fourth year of King Zedekiah of Judah’s reign (597–586 BC). He openly declared in the temple that in two years the Lord would break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (605–562 BC), from the neck of Judah and return its exiles and sacred possessions to Palestine. Told by the Lord that Hananiah’s prophecy was false, Jeremiah reproached Hananiah for lying and foretold his imminent death. Hananiah died two months later (Jer 28).

13. Father of Zedekiah, an official of King Jehoiakim of Judah (609–598 BC; Jer 36:12).
