3 When I got to see that you were no savior, then I determined to put my soul* in my own palm+ and go over against the sons of Amʹmon.+ At that Jehovah gave them into my hand. So why have YOU come up against me this day to fight against me?”
21 The woman now came to Saul and saw that he had been greatly disturbed. So she said to him: “Here your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I proceeded to put my soul in my palm+ and obey the words that you spoke to me.
24 Nevertheless, I do not make my soul* of any account as dear to me,+ if only I may finish my course+ and the ministry+ that I received+ of the Lord Jesus, to bear thorough witness to the good news of the undeserved kindness of God.+
30 because on account of the Lord’s* work he came quite near to death, exposing his soul* to danger,+ that he might fully make up for YOUR not being here to render private service to me.+
