Babylon was the imperial capital to which Nebuchadnezzar had taken Judah’s king and temple vessels; Hananiah falsely predicted their return within two years. Gibeon, a Benjaminite town northwest of Jerusalem, was Hananiah’s hometown and identifies him as the prophet making this hopeful but unauthorized claim.
