1 Chronicles 27:18
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;
17 over Levi was Hashabiah son of Kemuel; over Aaron was Zadok;
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;
20 over the Ephraimites was Hoshea son of Azaziah; over one of the half-tribes of Manasseh was Joel son of Pedaiah;
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.
