Conaniah
Who he was
Conaniah is named once, at the Passover of King Josiah: “Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem” (2 Chronicles 35:1). “Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock and five hundred head of cattle” (2 Chronicles 35:9). “This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah” (2 Chronicles 35:19).
He is not the Conaniah who was ruler over the offerings in the reign of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:12); the reigns of Manasseh and Amon came between the two (2 Kings 21:1; 2 Kings 21:19).
