(appointed by the Lord), a Levite, ruler of the offerings and tithes in the time of Hezekiah. (2 Chronicles 31:12,13) (B.C. 726.)
Cononiah
Cononiah was a Levite trusted with gifts. In 2 Chronicles 31 the people bring “the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully,” and “Cononiah the Levite was ruler” over them, his brother Shimei next in rank. Ten overseers served under them, appointed at the command of King Hezekiah. Chapter 35 names a Conaniah among the chief of the Levites who gave cattle for the passover offerings; the spelling differs slightly. Scripture says little more, but it shows a man whose work was keeping what had been given to God safe. Read 2 Chronicles 31:11 to 13.
