Quick answer
The twenty-first and twenty-second lots fall to Jachin and Gamul. Only two divisions now remain to be named.
Overview
Jachin appears again among priestly families after the exile (1 Chr 9:10; Neh 11:10), showing the endurance of these lines. The Chronicler records the full set so the legitimacy of each serving family could be verified. God's careful provision of qualified ministers for His house demonstrates His ongoing care for the worship of His people.
