For example:
-King David was not from a noble family but displaced the current king,
-Jesus was from a poor family,
-The Hebrew people were slaves in Egypt, however in Deut 15:4 God promises they will rule over other nations.
I have a half formed idea that it fits with the OT theme of God picking the least likely people for the job- like when he used a prostitute*, Rahab, to protect the spies in Jericho.
*Note that adultery is also mentioned in the Proverbs 30 passage.
