 Hanun
    graciously given. (1.) The son and successor of Nahash, king of
    Moab. David's messengers, sent on an embassy of condolence to
    him to Rabbah Ammon, his capital, were so grossly insulted that
    he proclaimed war against Hanun. David's army, under the command
    of Joab, forthwith crossed the Jordan, and gained a complete
    victory over the Moabites and their allies (2 Sam. 10:1-14) at
    Medeba (q.v.).
      (2.) Neh. 3:13. (3.) 3:30.
