1 Samuel 30:29

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

28 to those in Aroer, Siphmoth, and Eshtemoa;

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

30 to those in Hormah, Bor-ashan, and Athach;

31 and to those in Hebron and in all the places where David and his men had roamed.

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.
