Nehemiah 7:57

55 the descendants of Barkos, the descendants of Sisera, the descendants of Temah,

56 the descendants of Neziah, and the descendants of Hatipha.

The descendants of the servants of Solomon: the descendants of Sotai, the descendants of Sophereth, the descendants of Perida,

58 the descendants of Jaala, the descendants of Darkon, the descendants of Giddel,

59 the descendants of Shephatiah, the descendants of Hattil, the descendants of Pochereth-hazzebaim, and the descendants of Amon.

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.
