Ananiah
Ananiah, in the Bible, is a town in the tribe of Benjamin between Nob and Hazor (Nehemiah 11:32). It is one of the localities inhabited by the tribe of Benjamin after the return from the Babylonian Exile.[1] Ananiah, whose name means "protected by God," was identified by the 19th century French traveler V. Guérin, author of Description de La Jude'e, with the present-day Beit Hanina, located 3 miles north of Jerusalem.[2] Edward Robinson concurred, but W.F. Albright maintained that Ananiah is the village of al-Eizariya east of Jerusalem.[3][4] Some modern scholars also identify Ananiah with al-Eizariya.[5][6]
