1 Chronicles 9:11

9 and 956 of their relatives according to their genealogy. All these men were heads of their families.

10 From the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin;

Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief official of God’s temple;

12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;

13 and 1,760 of their relatives, the heads of their families, able men for the work of the service of the house of God.

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.
