1 Chronicles 16:20

18 ‘I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.’

19 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

21 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

22 ‘Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!’

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
