1 Chronicles 7:12

10 The son of Jediael: Bilhan. The sons of Bilhan: Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar.

11 All these sons of Jediael were heads of their families, mighty men of valor; there were 17,200 fit for battle.

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.

14 The descendants of Manasseh: Through his Aramean concubine, Asriel, as well as Machir the father of Gilead.

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.
