Have pity on me, my friends, have pity on me, for the hand of God has struck me.

From the descendants of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah.

Remove me from the path of deceit! Graciously give me your law!

I seek your favor with all my heart. Have mercy on me as you promised!

As for you, O Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up, so I can pay them back!”

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long!

Jehu son of Hanani received from the Lord this message predicting Baasha’s downfall:

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am frail! Heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking!

Have mercy on me, for I am in distress! My eyes grow dim from suffering. I have lost my strength.

As for me, I said: “O Lord, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you!

For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a prayer of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God! Have mercy on me! For in you I have taken shelter. In the shadow of your wings I take shelter until trouble passes.

Please take my present that was brought to you, for God has been generous to me and I have all I need.” When Jacob urged him, he took it.

From the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.

The rest of the events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded in the Annals of Jehu son of Hanani which are included in Scroll of the Kings of Israel.

Hanani, who was one of my relatives, along with some of the men from Judah, came to me, and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped and had survived the exile, and about Jerusalem.

I then put in charge over Jerusalem my brother Hanani and Hananiah the chief of the citadel, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many do.

and his colleagues – Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani – with musical instruments of David the man of God. (Ezra the scribe led them.)

For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer!

The prophet Jehu son of Hanani received from the Lord the message predicting the downfall of Baasha and his family because of all the evil Baasha had done in the sight of the Lord. His actions angered the Lord (including the way he had destroyed Jeroboam’s dynasty), so that his family ended up like Jeroboam’s.

At that time Hanani the prophet visited King Asa of Judah and said to him: “Because you relied on the king of Syria and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
