This site's exposition

The first lot fell to Jehoiarib

on 1 Chronicles 24:7-13

The lot gives “the eighth to Abijah”, and Luke 1:5 names Zechariah as a priest of the division of Abijah. Zechariah was serving his division's turn in the temple when Gabriel met him, so this roster dates the opening scene of the New Testament.

This site's exposition

the third to Harim

The third lot falls to Harim and the fourth to Seorim. Albert Barnes, on verse 5, says the lots were drawn for the families of Eleazar and of Ithamar equally, so neither house was preferred.
