1 Chronicles 9:30
28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in worship, to count them whenever they were brought in or taken out.
29 Others were put in charge of the furnishings and other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the fine flour, wine, oil, frankincense, and spices.
And some of the sons of the priests mixed the spices.
31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread.
32 Some of their Kohathite brothers were responsible for preparing the rows of the showbread every Sabbath.
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.
