 1 Kings 20:10-12

10 Then Ben-Hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if enough dust remains in Samaria to give each of my men a handful.” 11 The king of Israel answered, “Tell him: ‘One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off.’” 12 Ben-Hadad heard this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents,[a] and he ordered his men: “Prepare to attack.” So they prepared to attack the city.

 Proverbs 6:6-8

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;    consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander,    no overseer or ruler, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer    and gathers its food at harvest.
