Chenani
Who he was
Chenani is mentioned in Nehemiah 9:4 as one of the Levites who stood on the stairs and led the people in a prayer of confession and worship during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. He is listed alongside other Levites such as Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani.
