📚 Historical Context
In the time of King David, the priests descended from Aaron were divided into 24 courses to ensure organized service in the Tabernacle, allowing for a systematic rotation throughout the year. This arrangement helped maintain the sacred duties of worship and sacrifices without overwhelming any single group. Specifically, 1 Chronicles 24:14 lists the 15th course assigned to Bilgah and the 16th to Immer as part of this broader organization.
