"The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Samuel" has at its main message the desire and virtue of being humble and how pride can be an incredibly destructive force. The book also served as a reminder, through the tale of David, who is to one day be a king, that God's promises are wholehearted and true. Though it might take time, his word will come to pass, thus not lose faith in what God has promised you or any other followers.
