1. Samuelsbok 7,17

15 Samuel fortsatte å tjene som dommer over Israel resten av sitt liv.

16 Hvert år reiste han på en krets fra Betel til Gilgal til Mispa, og dømte Israel på alle disse stedene.

Men han vendte alltid tilbake til Rama, hvor hans hjem var, og der dømte han også Israel. Og han bygde et alter der til Herren.

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.
