Joshua 12:22
20 the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
21 the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;
23 the king of Dor in Naphath-dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;
24 and the king of Tirzah, one. So there were thirty-one kings 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.
