Quick answer
The ninth and tenth lots fall to Jeshua and Shecaniah. The orderly list of priestly families continues without interruption.
Overview
These names round out the next pair of the twenty-four courses. The Chronicler records them carefully because, for the post-exilic community he addressed, knowing the legitimate priestly families was vital for restoring proper temple worship (cf. Ezra 2:36-39). The careful preservation of these names underscores God's faithfulness to maintain a worshiping people across the generations.
