Shebaniah

Meaning: the Lord that converts · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shebaniah entry refers to the priest appointed to blow the trumpet before the ark in 1 Chronicles 15:24, not to the priestly figure in Nehemiah 10:12. He belongs to the liturgical celebration surrounding the ark's arrival in Jerusalem. First appears in 1 Chr 15:24.1

AI summary: This Shebaniah matters because his single cross reference places him in the ordered musical and priestly service accompanying the ark. The entry helps show that David's worship reforms were carried by many named participants, not by the king alone. Taken together, the material presents this Shebaniah as a priest serving in the ark procession.1
