1 Chronicles 2:39

37 Zabad was the father of Ephlal, Ephlal was the father of Obed,

38 Obed was the father of Jehu, Jehu was the father of Azariah,

Azariah was the father of Helez, Helez was the father of Elasah,

40 Elasah was the father of Sismai, Sismai was the father of Shallum,

41 Shallum was the father of Jekamiah, and Jekamiah was the father of Elishama.

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.
