1 Chronicles 23:8

6 Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

7 The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.

9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.

10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.

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.
