Joshua 12:23

21 the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

22 the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;

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.
