1 Chronicles 13:1

Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.

2 And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.

3 Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”

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.
