1 Chronicles 27:20
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;
over the Ephraimites was Hoshea son of Azaziah; over one of the half-tribes of Manasseh was Joel son of Pedaiah;
21 over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead was Iddo son of Zechariah; over Benjamin was Jaasiel son of Abner;
22 and over Dan was Azarel son of Jeroham. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
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.
