1 Samuel 30:27

25 And so it has been from that day forward. David established this statute as an ordinance for Israel to this very day.

26 When David arrived in Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”

He sent gifts to those in Bethel, Ramoth Negev, and Jattir;

28 to those in Aroer, Siphmoth, and Eshtemoa;

29 to those in Racal and in the cities of the Jerahmeelites and Kenites;

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.
