1 Chronicles 27:33

³¹ And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David’s.

³² Also Jonathan David’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons:

And Ahithophel was the king’s counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king’s companion:

³⁴ And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king’s army was Joab.

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.
