Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 15:22

22 And Chenaniah chief of the Levites was for song : he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

Heb. Was for lifting up, either 1. of the Ark: he was for carriage of the Ark, being appointed to instruct or direct the time and manner of carrying the Ark, and when they should make a stand or a change in the Bearers. Or rather 2. of the Voice: he was the Moderater of the Musick, instructing them when and how to lift up their Voices, or change their Notes, or make theis Stops, which best agrees with the following Reason, because he was skilfull▪ For this required far more Skill than the carriage of the Ark; which any man of common discretion could easily govern; and with v. 27. where this same Chenaniah is joyned with the Singers.
