Bible Person
Meaning: broken in pieces · Male · 4 cross references
Chenaanah is remembered as the father of Zedekiah, the false prophet in Ahab's court. His own significance comes through that repeated patronymic in one of the Bible's sharpest scenes of prophetic conflict. First appears in 1 Kgs 22:11.1
AI summary: Chenaanah matters because the cross references preserve him through the repeated naming of Zedekiah son of Chenaanah in the contest between flattering court prophecy and Micaiah's truth. He does not act directly, but the patronymic helps fix the false prophet's identity in Israel's memory. Taken together, the material presents Chenaanah as the remembered father of a false prophet whose words lead toward disaster.1
