Quick answer
The list turns to the rest of the Levites, beginning with the line of Amram through Shubael and Jehdeiah. The non-priestly Levites are now organized alongside the priests.
Overview
Having ordered the priests (descendants of Aaron), the Chronicler now arranges the remaining Levites who assisted in the temple's broader work (cf. Num 3-4). This shows that every level of service, not only the priesthood, had its appointed place. In God's house there is meaningful work for all His servants, a pattern echoed in the varied gifts and roles within Christ's church (1 Cor 12:4-7).
