Joshua 19:26
24 The fifth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Asher:
25 Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,
Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath,
27 then turned eastward toward Beth-dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah-el, and went north to Beth-emek and Neiel, passing Cabul on the left.
28 It went on to Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.
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.
