Benaiah also and Jahaziel--The name of the former is mentioned among the priests (1Ch 15:24), but not the latter. The office assigned to them was that of blowing trumpets at regular intervals before the ark and in the tabernacle.
This site's exposition
appointed certain of the Levites to minister
on 1 Chronicles 16:4-6
David appoints the Levites' offices in three verbs, to record, to thank and to praise, sole witness material Samuel does not carry at all. Asaph stands first, the name the Psalter later attaches to twelve psalm titles, and Chronicles fixes his house as chief of the choir at this verse. Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests take the trumpets, and Jeiel plays psalteries and harps while Asaph sounds the cymbals, the instrumentation this chapter founds for the ark's permanent service.
