And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?”
Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjaminite, from the least of the tribes of Israel? And is not my clan the humblest of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this way?”
Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”
Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
