2 Chronicles 11:10

8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,

9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,

Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.

11 He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.

12 He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.

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.
