Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָנַן (chanan), meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Chanun in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of grace or favor, which is inherent in the name Chanun, can be related to Greek words such as χάρις (charis), meaning "grace" or "favor." Usage: The name Chanun appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of several individuals, primarily known for their roles in historical narratives. Context: • Chanun, King of the Ammonites: Chanun was the son of Nahash and succeeded him as king of the Ammonites. His story is primarily recounted in 2 Samuel 10 and 1 Chronicles 19. After the death of his father, David sent envoys to express sympathy. However, Chanun's advisors suspected espionage, leading him to humiliate David's servants by shaving half their beards and cutting their garments. This act of disrespect resulted in a conflict between the Ammonites and Israel, culminating in a war where David's forces, led by Joab, defeated the Ammonites and their allies.
