About Chenaanah
Chenaanah is mentioned in 1Ch.7.10 as one of the sons of Bilhan, a descendant of Benjamin. He is listed among the heads of families in the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin. This Chenaanah is different from the false prophet Zedekiah son of Chenaanah mentioned in 1Kings 22 and 2Chronicles 18.
