Hananiah

Meaning: grace; mercy; gift of the Lord · Male · 2 cross references

This Hananiah entry refers to one of Heman's sons in David's musical courses, not to Zerubbabel's son or the prophet opposed by Jeremiah. He belongs to the ordered family ministry of temple praise. First appears in 1 Chr 25:4.1

AI summary: This Hananiah matters because the cross references place him within the structured worship system where music is assigned by household and lot. His role reinforces the disciplined, inherited character of praise in David's religious ordering. Taken together, the material presents this Hananiah as a musical leader whose place supports the continuity of temple song.1
