1 Chronicles 8:6
4 Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah,
5 Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram.
These were the descendants of Ehud who were the heads of the families living in Geba and were exiled to Manahath:
7 Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera, who carried them into exile and who was the father of Uzza and Ahihud.
8 Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara.
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.
