1 Chronicles 24 describes King David's organization of the Levitical priests into 24 divisions, each serving in the Temple for a specified period. The verse "the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim" means that:
Harim was the head of the third division (or course) of priests.
Seorim was the head of the fourth division (or course) of priests.
It's simply listing the names of the priestly leaders and the order in which their divisions were established. Each division would have served in a specific order throughout the year, ensuring a rotation of priestly duties at the Temple.
