1 Chronicles 6:80

78 From the tribe of Reuben east of the Jordan opposite Jericho they were given Bezer in the wilderness, Jahzah,

79 Kedemoth, and Mephaath, together with their pasturelands.

And from the tribe of Gad they were given Ramoth in Gilead, Mahanaim,

81 Heshbon, and Jazer, together with their pasturelands.

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.
