Old Testament
Chenaanah
The father of Zedekiah, a false prophet who encouraged King Ahab to attack Ramoth-gilead.
Chenaanah is identified solely as the father of Zedekiah, a prophet who misled King Ahab. His son is noted for making iron horns to symbolize Israel's victory over Syria, directly contradicting the prophecy of Micaiah. The text mentions him only to establish the lineage of this specific false prophet.
