As he was obliged by the above law, or pluck off the shoe: and he died childless:

Luke 20:30 In-Context

28 "Teacher, Moses wrote us that if a man dies and leaves a wife but no child, his brother is obligated to take the widow to wife and get her with child.
29 Well, there once were seven brothers. The first took a wife. He died childless.
30 The second married her and died,
31 then the third, and eventually all seven had their turn, but no child.
32 After all that, the wife died.
