(B.C. after 1700). </p> <p> 2. The son of [[Mahli]] or Mahali, son of Merari, &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:29, as the text at present stands.

<p> <strong> [[Libni]] </strong> The eldest son of Gershon, that is to say, the eponym of a principal family of [[Gershonite]] Levites, &nbsp; Exodus 6:17 , &nbsp; Numbers 3:18 , &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 6:17; &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 6:20 . In &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 6:29 [Heb. 14], perhaps owing to some dislocation of the text, the name appears as that of the eponym of a family of Merarites. The patronymic <strong> [[Libnites]] </strong> occurs in &nbsp; Numbers 3:21; &nbsp; Numbers 26:58 . Cf. Ladan. </p>
