And the second took her to wife
As he was obliged by the above law, or pluck off the shoe: and he died childless:

Luke 20:30 In-Context

28 They posed this question: “Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.
29 Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children.
30 So the second brother married the widow, but he also died.
31 Then the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them, who died without children.
32 Finally, the woman also died.
