When we want honor from man it can lead to an internal turmoil that can make us angry and unhappy. This inward turmoil can lead to sinful thoughts and sinful actions. King Saul was someone that wanted honor from man ( 1 Samuel 15:30 ). And when returning from battle the singers gave more honor to David in a song than King Saul (1 Samuel 18:6-8). The fact that he did not receive the highest honor made Saul upset and angry. And it caused him to look at David with suspicion from that point forward. It certainly played a role in King Saul wanting to put David to death.
