1 Chronicles 2:41

39 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,

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

42 The sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel: Mesha his firstborn, who was the father of Ziph, and Mareshah his second son, who was the father of Hebron.

43 The sons of Hebron: Korah, Tappuah, Rekem, and Shema.

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.
