Hanan חָנָן

Hanan is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.8.23 as a son of Shashak, a Benjamite. He is listed in the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin, which is recorded in the book of 1 Chronicles. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles provide a record of the families and clans within each of the Israelite tribes, highlighting their lineage and descent from the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob'). The mention of Hanan in this genealogy serves to demonstrate the continuity of Benjamin's lineage and to provide a historical record of his descendants.
