Quick answer
The eleventh and twelfth lots are assigned to Eliashib and Jakim. Each name marks a family appointed to its share of priestly duty.
Overview
This continues the structured division of priestly service. By distributing the duty evenly among twenty-four courses, no single family bore the whole burden and all shared the privilege of ministering before the Lord. Such shared, ordered service in the old covenant foreshadows the New Testament reality that all believers are made a kingdom of priests to God (1 Pet 2:9; Rev 1:6).
