* The sons of Merari : Mahli and Mushi . The sons of Mahli : Eleazar and Kish . * And Eleazar died , and had no sons , but daughters ; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them . * The sons of Mushi : Mahli , and Eder , and Jeremoth , three . * These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers ' houses , the chief fathers , as they were reckoned , by number of names by their polls , who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah , from twenty years old and upward . * For David said , Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people , and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever ; * and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle , nor any of its vessels for its service . * For by the last words of David was this [done ], -- the numbering of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward . * For their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah , over the courts , and over the chambers , and over the purifying of all holy things , and [for ] the work of the service of the house of God ; * and for the loaves to be set in rows , and for the fine flour for the oblation , and for the unleavened cakes , and for [what is baked in ] the pan , and for that which is saturated [with oil ], and for all measure of capacity and size ; * and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah , and likewise at even ; * and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths , on the new moons , and on the set feasts , by number , according to the ordinance concerning them , continually , before Jehovah ; * and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting , and the charge of the sanctuary , and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren , in the service of the house of Jehovah .
