وَ اسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَ جُنُوْدُهٗ فِی الْاَرْضِ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ وَ ظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَیْنَا لَا یُرْجَعُوْنَ(39) فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَ جُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِی الْیَمِّۚ-فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(40)

And he and his army resorted to arrogance in the earth unjustly and they thought that they will not be returned to Us.[1] So We seized him and his army, then cast them into the river. So see what became of the oppressors.[1]

This is the fundamental objective behind this account being related to us; so we learn a lesson from the rise and fall of previous nations and then rectify our own state. We should read Quranic stories like this with a view of admonition.
