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 (1 Chronicles 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 (1 Chronicles 26:29). These passages highlight Chenaniah's musical abilities and his trusted position in David's administration.
