Henadad


Hen´uh-dad; Heb., “Hadad [a deity] is gracious”

A shortened form of Henhadad. 1 The “father” of two postexilic inhabitants of Jerusalem, Bavvai and Binnui, who helped repair the city walls. It is almost certain that the ancestral head of the family group is meant here rather than the actual father, with “son” of Henadad meaning “descendant” (Neh 3:18; Neh 3:24; Neh 10:9); possibly the head of the family group in 2. 2 A levitical family group (“sons of Henadad”) who helped supervise the workmen in the rebuilding of the Temple following the exile (Ezra 3:9).
