This is the name of a man. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names)

Hanani, and some men from Judah came

"Hanani, came from Judah with some other men"

the Jews, the escaped remnant, those who had escaped from the captivity

The phrases "escaped remnant" and "those who had escaped from the captivity" both describe "the Jews," and "those who had escaped the captivity" specifies what it was that "the escaped remnant" escaped. Possible meanings are 1) the few Jews who were taken as exiles to Babylon but escaped and returned to live in Jerusalem or 2) the few Jews who had escaped from those who were trying to take them into exile in Babylon and so remained in Jerusalem. Since it is unclear which meaning is correct, it is best not to specify in the translation.
