The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth – three in all. 24These were the descendants of Levi according to their families, that is, the leaders of families as counted and individually listed who carried out assigned tasks in the Lord’s temple and were twenty years old and up. 25For David said, “The Lord God of Israel has given his people rest and has permanently settled in Jerusalem.
