Although Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday is commonly cited as an example of His humility (even though, as noted in the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9, He was also entering as a King), the use of a donkey to ride on was regarded in the book of Judges as a sign of honor and status. (In addition to the instance from Judges 12:14 cited in the question, passages such as Judges 5:10 and Judges 10:4 also mention such use of donkeys by prominent persons.)
