Hananeel

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.

Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)

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.

Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)

(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.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898) & Schaff's Bible Dictionary

HANAN'EEL (graciously given of God), a tower which formed a part of the wall of Jerusalem. Neh 3:1; Neh 12:39; Jer 31:38; Zech 14:10. It appears to have been between the fishgate and the sheep-gate, but can scarcely be identified with the tower of Meah, as some have proposed. Dr. Barclay suggested that in the projection at the northeast corner of the harem enclosure are to be found the remains of the tower of Hananeel.
