Samuel answered, "Even though you consider yourself of no importance, you are the leader of the tribes of Israel. The LORD anointed you king of Israel,

Reverence for the LORD is an education in itself. You must be humble before you can ever receive honors.

When you stand before the king, don't try to impress him and pretend to be important.

It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important.

The descendants of those who oppressed you will come And bow low to show their respect. All who once despised you will worship at your feet. They will call you 'The City of the LORD,' 'Zion, the City of Israel's Holy God.'

Listen! As for that group that belongs to Satan, those liars who claim that they are Jews but are not, I will make them come and bow down at your feet. They will all know that I love you.
