1 Chronicles 7:28
26 Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son,
27 Nun his son, and Joshua his son.
Their holdings and settlements included Bethel and its villages, Naaran to the east, Gezer and its villages to the west, and Shechem and its villages as far as Ayyah and its villages.
29 And along the borders of Manasseh were Beth-shean, Taanach, Megiddo, and Dor, together with their villages. The descendants of Joseph son of Israel lived in these towns.
30 The children of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah.
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.
