STEPBible TIPNR
Jakim is mentioned in 1Ch 24:12 as the head of the 12th priestly division during the reign of King David. David organized the priests into 24 divisions to ensure a systematic rotation of their duties in the temple. Each division was responsible for serving in the temple for a week at a time, twice a year. As the head of his division, Jakim would have been responsible for overseeing the priestly duties and ensuring that the temple services were carried out according to the prescribed regulations.
