1 Chronicles 4:23
21 The sons of Shelah son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah and the clans of the linen workers at Beth-ashbea,
22 Jokim, the men of Cozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi-lehem. (These names are from ancient records.)
These were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah. They lived there in the service of the king.
24 The descendants of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
25 The sons of Shaul: Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.
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.
