According to the words of the prophet Micah about Bet Lechem, we can define the message of Bet Lechem as: leadership through humility. A message that is expressed in the famous Midrash about Mount Sinai, which was the lowest and most humble of all mountains.
We will now examine this message in all the other verses of Bet Lechem in the Tanach and focus on the story of the prophet Shmuel coming to look for David in Bet Lechem. God teaches him the message of Bet Lechem – not to look at the outward appearance but at the inner essence.
