Of the sons of Izhar
on 1 Chronicles 23:18-23
The remaining Kohathite and Merarite lines close out with Izhar, Hebron, Uzziel, and Merari's own sons Mahli and Mushi, kept to the same chief-and-number form as chapter one's tables. One line breaks the pattern: Eleazar dies leaving daughters and no sons, and his brethren the sons of Kish take them in marriage, the same provision Numbers 27 and 36 make for Zelophehad's daughters so a family's inheritance stays inside its own tribe. The detail is small, but it keeps a line from vanishing out of the record when there is no son to carry the name.
