He is elsewhere ( Nehemiah 7:15) called BINNUI (See Binnui) (q.v). (See Banid). He was himself one of those who divorced their heathen wives ( Ezra 10:38). Others consider this last a different person, and identify him with some of those referred to below. B.C. 536-410.

    5. A Levite, whose son Rehum repaired a portion of the (branch) wall of Jerusalem skirting the brow of Mount Zion on the east ( Nehemiah 3:17). Apparently the same Bani was among those who were conspicuous in all the reforms on the return from Babylon ( Nehemiah 8:7;  Nehemiah 9:4 twice, 5; 10:13). He had another son named Uzzi, who was appointed overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem; his own father's name was Hashabiah ( Nehemiah 11:22). B.C. 446-410. (See Chenani).
