Luke 20:30

And the second took her to wife
As he was obliged by the above law, or pluck off the shoe: and he died childless:
as his eldest brother before him.

Luke 20:30 In-Context

28 and put to him a sh'eilah: "Rabbi, Moshe wrote for us that if a man dies leaving a wife but no children, his brother must take the wife and have children to preserve the man's family line.
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died child less,
30 then the second
31 and third took her, and likewise all seven, but they all died without leaving children.
32 Lastly, the woman also died.
