1 Chronicles 15:22-24

15:22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was in charge of transport, for he was well-informed on this matter; ¹  15:23 Berechiah and Elkanah were guardians ²  of the ark; 15:24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God; Obed-Edom and Jehiel were also guardians ³  of the ark.

[15:22]  ¹ tn Heb “and Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, with lifting up, supervising with lifting up, for he was well-informed.” The precise nuance of מַשָּׂא (masa’, “lifting up”) is unclear. Some understand it as a reference to supervising the singing and music (e.g., NIV: “Kenaniah…was in charge of the singing”; NEB: “Kenaniah…was precentor in charge of the music”).

[15:23]  ² tn Heb “gatekeepers.”

[15:24]  ³ tn Heb “gatekeepers.”
