The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Samuel

"The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Samuel" by Anonymous is an ancient religious story that tells about important people in the Israelite culture. The story mainly focuses on King David and his time as king. It shows how he became king, his friendships and romances, and the problems that came with being a leader, like his own mistakes and the political issues of the time. The book starts with the news of King Saul's death and how David felt sad about it, including a song he made for Saul and his son Jonathan. A young man says he killed Saul, but David kills him because he was horrified that he hurt God's chosen king. David then becomes the king of Judah and has to manage the conflict between his kingdom and the rest of Israel, which is led by Saul's son. The story feels sad but also shows loyalty and the hard parts of being a leader in a difficult time.
