Hanani

The word Hanani means "God has gratified me" or "God is gracious".
Hanani is the name of five men mentioned in the Hebrew Bible:

One of the sons of Heman.
A "seer" or prophet who was sent to rebuke king Asa of Judah for entering into a league with Ben-Hadad I, king of Syria, against the northern kingdom of Israel.

Hanani was imprisoned in stocks by Asa. This Hanani was also probably the father of the prophet Jehu, who rebuked Baasha, king of the northern kingdom and Jehoshaphat, king of the southern kingdom. The Pulpit Commentary suggests both "belonged to the Kingdom of Judah". Hanani's criticism of Asa's treaty with Syria does not appear in the parallel narrative in 1 Kings 15. Hanani would appear to have had a group of supporters who shared his criticism or disapproved of his arrest, whose protests were also "crushed" by Asa.

A member of the priestly family of Immer, listed in Ezra 10:20 as having married a foreign wife.
Probably a brother of Nehemiah, who reported to him the melancholy condition of Jerusalem. Nehemiah afterwards appointed him to have charge of the city gates.
A Levite priest and musician who participated in the procession arranged by Nehemiah at the inauguration of Jerusalem’s wall.
