1 Samuel 18:23

²⁰The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, but the rich person has many friends.

¹⁵Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. ¹⁶Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

¹⁴¹I am small and despised. I don’t forget your precepts.

²¹Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”

¹See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

⁶Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts. ⁷All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
