1 Tawarikh 15:22

15:22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was in charge of transport, for he was well-informed on this matter; ¹ 

1 Tawarikh 21:6

21:6 Now Joab ²  did not number Levi and Benjamin, for the king’s edict disgusted him.

[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”).

[21:6]  ² tn Heb “he”; the proper name (“Joab”) has been substituted for the pronoun here for stylistic reasons; the proper name occurs at the end of the verse in the Hebrew text, where it has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation.
