Who he was

Hananiah was one of the sons of Heman, a musician in King David's court (1 Chronicles 25:4). He and his brothers were appointed by David to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals (1 Chronicles 25:1). Hananiah, along with his brothers, was assigned duties in the service of the house of God, according to the order prescribed by King David (1 Chronicles 25:23). The sons of Heman were known for their musical skills and were part of the Levitical musicians who ministered in the temple.
