His name, which means "gracious" or "graciously given" in Hebrew, reflects the divine favor and responsibility associated with his life and ministry.<br><br><b>1. Hanani the Prophet</b><br><br>Hanani is first introduced in <a href="/2_chronicles/16-7.htm">2 Chronicles 16:7-10</a>, where he serves as a prophet during the reign of King Asa of Judah. Hanani is sent by God to rebuke Asa for relying on the king of Aram instead of the Lord. The Berean Standard Bible records Hanani's message: "At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: 'Because you relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand'" (<a href="/2_chronicles/16-7.htm">2 Chronicles 16:7</a>). Hanani's bold confrontation highlights the importance of faith and reliance on God rather than human alliances. Asa's response to Hanani's prophecy was one of anger, leading to the prophet's imprisonment, as noted in <a href="/2_chronicles/16-10.htm">2 Chronicles 16:10</a>.<br><br><b>2. Hanani, Brother of Nehemiah</b><br><br>Another notable figure named Hanani is mentioned in the Book of Nehemiah. He is identified as the brother of Nehemiah, the cupbearer to King Artaxerxes of Persia and the leader of the Jewish return to Jerusalem. In <a href="/nehemiah/1-2.htm">Nehemiah 1:2</a>, Hanani brings a report to Nehemiah about the dire state of Jerusalem: "Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem" (<a href="/nehemiah/1-2.htm">Nehemiah 1:2</a>). This report deeply moves Nehemiah, prompting him to pray and eventually seek permission from the king to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.<br><br>Hanani's role in this narrative underscores his concern for the welfare of his people and the city of Jerusalem. Later, Nehemiah appoints Hanani as one of the leaders in charge of Jerusalem, recognizing his faithfulness and fear of God: "I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do" (<a href="/nehemiah/7-2.htm">Nehemiah 7:2</a>).<br><br><b>3. Hanani in the Context of Faithfulness</b><br><br>The accounts of Hanani in the Bible emphasize themes of faithfulness, integrity, and the importance of relying on God. Whether confronting a king or reporting on the state of Jerusalem, Hanani's actions are marked by a commitment to truth and divine principles. His life serves as a reminder of the prophetic voice that calls God's people to faithfulness and the importance of leadership grounded in the fear of the Lord.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hanani</span><p>my grace; my mercy<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hanani</span><p>(<i>gracious</i>). <ol> <li>One of the sons of Heman, and head of the eighteenth course of the service.
