Kenaanah, a proper name borne by the father of the prophet Zedekiah and a Benjamite
Kenaanah is a Hebrew proper name borne by two individuals. The more prominent is the father of Zedekiah, the prophet who made iron horns and dramatically predicted Ahab's victory at Ramoth-gilead (1 Kgs 22:11, 24; 2 Chr 18:10, 23). The other is a son of Bilhan listed among the Benjamites (1 Chr 7:10). The name appears related to 'Canaan' and the Septuagint renders it Χανααν or Χαναναν, reinforcing the etymological connection.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper masculine name, possibly meaning 'toward Canaan' or sharing the root of the geographic name Canaan. English gives 'Chenaanah' or 'Kenaanah,' Spanish 'Quenaana' or 'Kenaanah.' The name identifies the father of the prophet Zedekiah who confronted Micaiah before Ahab's fateful battle at Ramoth-gilead (1 Kgs 22:11, 24; 2 Chr 18:10, 23), and separately a Benjamite descendant of Bilhan (1 Chr 7:10). The Septuagint's Χανααν explicitly links the name to Canaan. 5×
