The name "Hanan" means "gracious" or "merciful," which may reflect his character or the favor he found in David's eyes. The mention of "son of Maacah" provides a familial connection, indicating his lineage. Maacah is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, often associated with different individuals and places, suggesting a common name in the region. This connection may imply a noble or significant family background, as Maacah was also a name of a small Aramean kingdom, indicating possible ties to that area. The inclusion of Hanan in this list highlights the diverse backgrounds of David's warriors, who came from various tribes and regions to support his reign.<p><b>Joshaphat the Mithnite</b><br>Joshaphat, not to be confused with Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, is another of David's mighty men. The name "Joshaphat" means "Yahweh has judged," which could signify a divine endorsement or a reflection of his role in executing justice or judgment in battle. The term "Mithnite" is less clear, as it is not widely referenced elsewhere in the Bible. It likely denotes a geographical origin or clan affiliation, possibly linked to a location or a group within Israel or its neighboring regions. This designation emphasizes the varied origins of David's warriors, who were drawn from different parts of the land, united by their loyalty to David and their shared purpose in establishing his kingdom. The presence of such individuals underscores the widespread support David received and the diverse composition of his military forces.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hanan_son_of_maacah.htm">Hanan son of Maacah</a></b><br>Hanan is listed among David's mighty warriors.
