1 Chronicles 7:11
9 Their genealogies were recorded according to the heads of their families—20,200 mighty men of valor.
10 The son of Jediael: Bilhan. The sons of Bilhan: Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar.
All these sons of Jediael were heads of their families, mighty men of valor; there were 17,200 fit for battle.
12 The Shuppites and Huppites were descendants of Ir, and the Hushites were descendants of Aher.
13 The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shallum —the descendants of Bilhah.
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.
