Who is this

Eliab, a Levite, is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 15:18,20 and 16:5 as one of the musicians appointed by David to serve in the tabernacle. He was skilled in playing the harp and was part of the group of Levites who led the procession when the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:18,20). Eliab, along with other musicians, was responsible for providing musical accompaniment during the worship services and celebrations. He is also listed among the Levites who ministered before the Ark with songs of thanksgiving and praise (1 Chronicles 16:5). Eliab's role as a musician highlights the importance of music in Israelite worship during David's reign.
