1 Chronicles 27:17

15 The twelfth, for the twelfth month, was Heldai the Netophathite, from the family of Othniel. There were 24,000 men in his division.

16 These officers were in charge of the tribes of Israel: Over the Reubenites was Eliezer son of Zichri; over the Simeonites was Shephatiah son of Maacah;

over Levi was Hashabiah son of Kemuel; over Aaron was Zadok;

18 over Judah was Elihu, one of David’s brothers; over Issachar was Omri son of Michael;

19 over Zebulun was Ishmaiah son of Obadiah; over Naphtali was Jerimoth son of Azriel;

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.
