The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain This and the following two verses give the houses…
This and the following two verses give the houses of Merari, contributing four houses, and, with the nine Gershonite and eleven Kohathite, adding up to twenty-four. Merari is the third son of Levi. (Gen_46:11) The Mahli and Mushi of this verse were possibly grandson and son of Merari, if we follow the guidance of 1Ch_6:47. Yet it would seem far more natural to explain this last-quotedpassage by our ver. 23, which would then parallel it. Otherwise we must account for the name of Mahli habitually standing first, as here, as in 1Ch_6:19 also, and 1Ch_24:26, as also in Exodus Num_3:20, Num_3:33, etc.; in all of which places the statement is as distinct as in this verse, that Mahli and Mushi were sons. This and the following verse must be compared particularly with. 1Ch_24:26-29; the Jaaziah of which passage was evidently no son of Merari, on a par with Mahli and Mushi, but a later descendant. His descendants were three Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri (Beno being no proper name, but signifying "his son
