About Hananiah
Hananiah was one of the sons of Heman, a musician in King David's court (1Ch.25.4). He and his brothers were appointed by David to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals (1Ch.25.1). Hananiah, along with his brothers, was assigned duties in the service of the house of God, according to the order prescribed by King David (1Ch.25.23). The sons of Heman were known for their musical skills and were part of the Levitical musicians who ministered in the temple.
