1 Chronicles 25:9
7 Together with their relatives, who were all trained and skillful in the songs of the LORD, they numbered 288.
8 They cast lots for their duties, young and old alike, teacher as well as pupil.
The first lot, which was for Asaph, fell to Joseph, his sons, and his brothers—12 in all; the second to Gedaliah, his sons, and his brothers—12 in all;
10 the third to Zaccur, his sons, and his brothers—12 in all;
11 the fourth to Izri, his sons, and his brothers—12 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.
