HANUN

(Heb. ḥānûn)

1. The son of Nahash and his successor as Ammonite king. David sent envoys to Hanun with condolences on the death of Nahash, but the leaders of the Ammonites were suspicious and aroused Nahash against David; Nahash seized the messengers and humilated them, shaving off half their beards and cutting off one side of their garments. In the war that ensued, Hanun was defeated and his people forced into slavery (2 Sam. 10:1–11:1; 12:26-31; 1 Chr. 19:1–20:3).

2. An Israelite who aided in the restoration of the walls of Jerusalem at the time of Nehemiah (Neh. 3:13).

3. The sixth son of Zalaph who aided in the restoration of Jerusalem’s walls (Neh. 3:30); possibly the same as 2 above.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
