God has graciously given, a tower in the wall of Jerusalem (Neh. 3:1; 12:39). It is mentioned also in Jer. 31:38; Zech. 14:10.
Hananeel
Hananeel is the name of a tower in Jerusalem’s wall, mentioned in four passages. Nehemiah 3 begins the rebuilding of the wall at the Sheep Gate and the tower of Meah, as far as the tower of Hananeel. Later, when the wall is dedicated, the procession passes it again. Two prophets use it as a landmark. Jeremiah promises that the city will be built to the LORD from this tower to the Corner Gate, and Zechariah 14:10 names it as one end of a restored Jerusalem. A single stone tower becomes a marker for a city rebuilt.

(whom God graciously gave), The tower of, a tower which formed part of the wall of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 3:1; 12:39) From these two passages, particularly from the former, it might almost be inferred that Hananeel was but another name for the tower of Meah; at any rate they were close together, and stood between the sheep-gate and the fish-gate. This tower is further mentioned in (Jeremiah 31:38) The remaining passage in which it is named, (Zechariah 14:10) also connects this tower with the "corner-gate," which lay on the other side of the sheep-gate.
