Ezra 2:40

38 the descendants of Pashhur, 1,247;

39 and the descendants of Harim, 1,017.

The Levites: the descendants of Jeshua and Kadmiel (through the line of Hodaviah ), 74.

41 The singers: the descendants of Asaph, 128.

42 The gatekeepers: the descendants of Shallum, the descendants of Ater, the descendants of Talmon, the descendants of Akkub, the descendants of Hatita, and the descendants of Shobai, 139 in all.

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.
