Quick answer
The fifteenth and sixteenth lots are given to Bilgah and Immer. The names extend the ordered list of priestly courses.
Overview
Immer appears elsewhere as a known priestly family that returned from exile (Ezra 2:37; Neh 7:40), confirming the historical reality behind these names. The Chronicler thus links the worship David organized to the worship his own restored community practiced. This continuity testifies that God preserves His covenant purposes even through judgment and exile.
