STEPBible TIPNR
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 (1Ch 26:29). These passages highlight Chenaniah's musical abilities and his trusted position in David's administration.
Chenaiah Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
Whom Jehovah hath made. “Chief of the Levites,” probably a Kohathite (1 Chr. 15:22), and therefore not the same as mentioned in 26:29.
