1 Chronicles 23:20-29

20The descendants of Uzziel included Micah (the family leader) and Isshiah (the second).

21The descendants of Merari included Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.

22Eleazar died with no sons, only daughters. His daughters married their cousins, the sons of Kish.

23Three of the descendants of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.

24These were the descendants of Levi by clans, the leaders of their family groups, registered carefully by name. Each had to be twenty years old or older to qualify for service in the house of the Lord.

25For David said, “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given us peace, and he will always live in Jerusalem.

26Now the Levites will no longer need to carry the Tabernacle and its furnishings from place to place.”

27In accordance with David’s final instructions, all the Levites twenty years old or older were registered for service.

28The work of the Levites was to assist the priests, the descendants of Aaron, as they served at the house of the Lord. They also took care of the courtyards and side rooms, helped perform the ceremonies of purification, and served in many other ways in the house of God.

29They were in charge of the sacred bread that was set out on the table, the choice flour for the grain offerings, the wafers made without yeast, the cakes cooked in olive oil, and the other mixed breads. They were also responsible to check all the weights and measures.
