Prudence Under Pressure
Commentators explain that the servants faithfully reported David's humble response, in which he expressed his unworthiness to be the king's son-in-law due to his low status and lack of wealth. Matthew Henry highlights this as an example of profound meekness and prudence, especially considering he was being provoked by a persecutor. This serves as a model for believers to maintain wise and respectful conduct even under pressure.
