1 Kings 4:2
1 So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
4 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
