Joshua 19:41

39 This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Naphtali, including these cities and their villages.

40 The seventh lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Dan:

The territory of their inheritance included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh,

42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

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.
