From Mahli
The name "Mahli" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "sick" or "weak." Mahli was a descendant of Levi, one of the sons of Merari, who was the youngest son of Levi. The Levites were set apart for the service of the tabernacle, and Mahli's lineage is significant in understanding the division of priestly duties. Historically, the Levites were not given a portion of land like the other tribes of Israel; instead, they were given cities to dwell in and were supported by the tithes of the people. This highlights the unique role and responsibility of the Levites in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel.

Eleazar
The name "Eleazar" means "God has helped" in Hebrew. Eleazar is a common name in the Bible, often associated with individuals who played significant roles in Israel's history. In this context, Eleazar is a descendant of Mahli, and his mention signifies the continuation of the Levitical line. The name itself is a testament to the faithfulness of God in providing and sustaining His people, even when human circumstances seem limiting or challenging.

who had no sons
This phrase indicates a break in the genealogical line, which was significant in the context of ancient Israelite society. Sons were seen as a continuation of the family name and legacy, and the lack of male heirs could be seen as a challenge to the continuation of one's lineage and duties. In the broader scriptural context, this highlights the sovereignty of God in His plans and purposes, as He often works through unexpected means and individuals to accomplish His will. The absence of sons for Eleazar may have necessitated the adoption of other means to ensure the continuation of priestly duties, reflecting the adaptability and resilience of the Levitical system in maintaining its divine mandate.

(28) Of Mahli came Eleazar.--Literally, To Mahli, Eleazar; and there became not to him sons. (Comp. 1Chronicles 23:22.) The clan Eleazar did not branch out into new clans, but, being few in number, amalgamated with that of Kish-Jerahmeel.
