Joshua 15:39

37 Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal-gad,

38 Dilan, Mizpeh, Joktheel,

Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon,

40 Cabbon, Lahmas, Chitlish,

41 Gederoth, Beth-dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah—sixteen cities, along with their villages.

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.
