Quick answer
The seventh and eighth lots are given to Hakkoz and Abijah. Abijah's course is notable as the division to which Zechariah, John the Baptist's father, later belonged.
Overview
This verse names two more priestly divisions in David's roster. The eighth course, Abijah, reappears centuries later in Luke 1:5, where Zechariah serves in this same division when the birth of John the Baptist is announced. Thus an ordinary administrative list in Chronicles connects, in God's providence, to the unfolding of the gospel and the herald of the Messiah.
