1 Chronicles 7:29

Joseph Manasseh Beth-shean Dor Megiddo Taanach

²⁷ Non his son, Jehoshua his son.

²⁸ And their possessions and habitations were, Beth-el and the towns thereof, and eastward Naaran, and westward Gezer, with the towns thereof; Shechem also and the towns thereof, unto Gaza and the towns thereof:

And by the borders of the children of Manasseh, Beth-shean and her towns, Taanach and her towns, Megiddo and her towns, Dor and her towns. In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel.

³⁰ The sons of Asher; Imnah, and Isuah, and Ishuai, and Beriah, and Serah their sister.

³¹ And the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel, who is the father of Birzavith.

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.
