The sons{H1121} of Mahli{H4249}; Eleazar{H499}, and Kish{H7027}. 22 And Eleazar{H499} died{H4191}{(H8799)}, and had no sons{H1121}, but daughters{H1323}: and their brethren{H251} the sons{H1121} of Kish{H7027} took{H5375}{(H8799)} them. 23 The sons{H1121} of Mushi{H4187}; Mahli{H4249}, and Eder{H5740}, and Jeremoth{H3406}, three{H7969}. 24 These were the sons{H1121} of Levi{H3878} after the house{H1004} of their fathers{H1}; even the chief{H7218} of the fathers{H1}, as they were counted{H6485}{(H8803)} by number{H4557} of names{H8034} by their polls{H1538}, that did{H6213}{(H8802)} the work{H4399} for the service{H5656} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, from the age{H1121} of twenty{H6242} years{H8141} and upward{H4605}. 25 For David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8804)}, The LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} hath given rest{H5117}{(H8689)} unto his people{H5971}, that they may dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in Jerusalem{H3389} for ever{H5769}: 26 And also unto the Levites{H3881}; they shall no more carry{H5375}{(H8800)} the tabernacle{H4908}, nor any vessels{H3627} of it for the service{H5656} thereof.
