Shecaniah

“habitation of the Lord” Hitchcock's 18691 mention, all in Nehemiah

Who he was

Shecaniah is named once, as the father of one of the builders of Jerusalem's wall under Nehemiah: “After him, Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gate, made repairs” (Nehemiah 3:29). Nothing more is recorded of him, and the verse does not connect him with Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, who spoke for the people in Ezra's day (Ezra 10:2).
