Nehemiah 7:2

I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah, the governor of the fortress (castle, palace), for he was a trustworthy man and feared (revered) God (Elohim) more than many others.
[The term "brother" can be used to refer to both a biological brother and a fellow countryman. Since Chanani is referred to as "brother" both here and in Neh. 1:2 and Chananja does not have that title (even though he is also a countryman), it is likely that Chanani is Nehemiah's biological brother.]
