Old Testament
Binnui
A Levite and returnee from Babylonian exile who assisted in temple service and wall reconstruction.
Binnui was a Levite who returned from exile with Zerubbabel and later helped weigh the silver and gold brought to the temple in Jerusalem. He is also recorded as a participant in the rebuilding of the city wall under Nehemiah. The name appears in several lists of post-exilic leaders, though it may refer to different individuals within the same historical period.
