Ananiah, in the Bible, is a town in the tribe of Benjamin between Nob and Hazor (modern Tell el-Qedah)[1] (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".). It is one of the localities inhabited by the tribe of Benjamin after the return from the Babylonian Exile.[2] 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.[3] Edward Robinson concurred, but W.F. Albright maintained that Ananiah is the village of al-Eizariya east of Jerusalem.[4][5] Some modern scholars also identify Ananiah with al-Eizariya.[6][7]
