The first is that he is the kings kinsman and his subject, the second is because he is hosting the king at his home, the third is because he believes that Duncan is a humble leader. The fourth reason is that the king gives him honor and the final is because he is afraid of failing. Rather than that last one, you might include that he believes that if he kills a king to become king, someone else will follow his example and kill him.
