STEPBible TIPNR
Unni is mentioned in 1Ch.15.18, 20 as one of the Levite musicians during the reign of King David. He was appointed, along with other skilled musicians, to play the harp during the procession when the ark of the covenant was brought to Jerusalem. Unni was part of the second group of musicians, led by Zechariah, who accompanied the ark with lyres according to alamoth, which may refer to a high pitch or a specific musical term. The inclusion of Unni in this list highlights the importance of music and worship in the transportation of the ark and the establishment of proper worship practices in Jerusalem.
