The question should read "what Israeli tribe was in charge of the Temple?" as there are 13 tribes if you count the Levites, who are hereditary priesthood, and set apart for Temple service. Thus, Levites are the ones "in charge". Cohanim, or priests, are all Levites.

It is a common misunderstanding that Jews are all of Israel, but a review of Bible and of history reveals there were 13 tribes, only one of them named Judah, from that son of Israel the patriarch. One tribe from each son of his.
