Merchant. (1.) A Benjamite (1 Chr. 7:10). (2.) The father of Zedekiah (1 Kings 22:11, 24).
Chenaanah
Chenaanah is a name that belongs to two different families. In 1 Kings 22, a prophet named “Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah” makes himself “horns of iron” and tells King Ahab that with these he will push the Syrians. When Micaiah speaks a different word, Zedekiah steps forward and hits him on the cheek. In 1 Chronicles 7:10, Chenaanah is instead a son in the tribe of Benjamin, listed among the sons of Bilhan. The two are given no link in the text. The better-known story is in 1 Kings 22.
