1 Chronicles 6:4

2 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

3 The children of Amram: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Eleazar was the father of Phinehas, Phinehas was the father of Abishua,

5 Abishua was the father of Bukki, Bukki was the father of Uzzi,

6 Uzzi was the father of Zerahiah, Zerahiah was the father of Meraioth,

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.
