21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22 And Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters and their brethren, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 These are the sons of Levi after the houses of their fathers, even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did work in the ministry of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest unto his people, and he shall dwell in Jerusalem for ever.
26 And also unto the Levites, they shall no longer carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its ministry.
27 For by the last words of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above.
