Genesis 36:30

28 These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

29 These are the chiefs of the Horites: Chiefs Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. They are the chiefs of the Horites, according to their divisions in the land of Seir.

31 These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites:

32 Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom; the name of his city was Dinhabah.

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.
