Bani was a Levite who served as a musician during David's reign.
Bani was a Levite musician, a descendant of Merari through Mahli, listed in the temple genealogy of 1 Chronicles 6:46. He stands in the line of Levitical singers whose lineage the Chronicler traced to legitimize the worship establishment of Israel. The name Bani ('built') appears several times in post-exilic records, reflecting its popularity as a name in Levitical and priestly families.
