Quick answer
The list continues with Iddo, Ginnethoi, and Abijah. Abijah's name recalls a well-known priestly division.
Overview
Among these returning priests is Abijah, whose division (the eighth course, 1 Chronicles 24:10) would later include Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist (Luke 1:5). The enduring priestly courses thus reach forward to the very threshold of the gospel. Such genealogies quietly connect the restoration to the coming of Christ's forerunner.
