Hanun

Hanun, son of Nahash and king of Ammon, who humiliated David's emissaries and so became David's enemy

Examples
2 Samuel 10:1 Now it happened afterward that the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.
2 Samuel 10:2 Then David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent some of his servants to console him about his father. But when David’s servants came to the land of the Ammonites,
2 Samuel 10:3 the commanders of the Ammonites said to their lord Hanun, “Do you think that David is simply honoring your father since he has sent you servants to console you? Has David not sent his servants to you in order to explore the city, to spy it out and overthrow it?”
Hanun

The name of various men, among them repairers of the wall after the exile

Examples
Nehemiah 3:13 Hanun and the inhabitants of Zanoah repaired the Valley Gate. They built it and installed its doors with its bolts and its bars, and a thousand cubits of the wall to the Dung Gate.
Nehemiah 3:30 After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah carried out repairs in front of his own quarters.
