BAANAH

(Heb. baʿănâ)

1. A son of Rimmon who, with his brother Rechab, murdered Saul’s son Ishbosheth and brought his severed head to David (2 Sam. 4:2-12), in an apparent attempt to remove any perceived threat to David’s succession to the throne of Israel. David’s response was typical of the respect he showed Saul’s house (cf. 2 Sam. 1:11-16; 3:28-29); he ordered the execution of the brothers and a proper burial for Ishbosheth.

2. The father of Heleb, one of David’s “mighty men” (2 Sam. 23:29 = 1 Chr. 11:30).

3. The last among the 10 (or 11, Neh. 7:7) “leaders” (so 1 Esdr. 5:8) who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:2). He is perhaps to be equated with the Baanah who was among those who set their seals to the covenant to keep the law (Neh. 10:27[MT 28]).

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.
