1 Chronicles 6:13

11 Azariah was the father of Amariah, Amariah was the father of Ahitub,

12 Ahitub was the father of Zadok, Zadok was the father of Shallum,

Shallum was the father of Hilkiah, Hilkiah was the father of Azariah,

14 Azariah was the father of Seraiah, and Seraiah was the father of Jehozadak.

15 Jehozadak went into captivity when the LORD sent Judah and Jerusalem into exile by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.

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.
