Bani

Bani is briefly mentioned inNehemiah 11:22as a Levite who served as an overseer in Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah. The context of the passage is a list of people who resettled in Jerusalem and the surrounding towns after the exile. Bani is described as "the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem." This role likely involved supervising the Levites' duties and ensuring the proper functioning of the temple service. The mention of Bani's oversight responsibility suggests he was a trusted leader within the Levitical community.
