What Does 1 Chronicles 24:9 Mean?

The orderly drawing goes on, the fifth lot falling to Malchijah and the sixth to Mijamin. Each course knew its number and so its time, ensuring the service of God was never left without hands to perform it.

To be assigned a turn is to be given both honor and responsibility. None of these names is famous, yet each was needed. So in the household of faith, the unseen and unremembered are still essential -- God builds his house from servants the world never notices.
