1 Chronicles 23:20-29

20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first and Isshiah the second.

21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

22Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters only, and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.

23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth—three in all.

24These were the Levites by their fathers’ households, the heads of the fathers’ households of those registered, according to the number of names of the individuals who were the servants of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.

25For David said, “The Lord God of Israel, has given peace and rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever.

26Also, the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its utensils for its service.”

27For by the last words of David, the Levites from twenty years old and above were counted.

28For their duty is to assist [the priests] the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the Lord, in [caring for] the courtyards, the chambers, the purifying of all holy things, and any work of the service of the house of God,

29and with the showbread, and the fine flour for a grain offering, and unleavened wafers, or what is baked in the pan or what is well-mixed, and all measures of volume and size [as the Law of Moses required].
