Who he was
Chenaniah was a Levite who served during the reign of King David. He had a leadership role in directing the singing when the ark of the covenant was brought to Jerusalem (1Ch.15.22,27). Chenaniah was skilled in this task and instructed others in singing to the Lord. Later, he was also appointed as an administrator over Israel's external business (1 Chronicles 26:29). These passages highlight Chenaniah's musical abilities and his trusted position in David's administration.
