Judges12:3

3 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hand , and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day to fight against me ?

i. e. I exposed my self to utmost danger▪ as a man that carries a brittle and precious thing in his hand, which may easily either fall to the ground, or be snatched from him. The same Phrase is used 1 Sam. 19. 5. and 28. 21. Iob 13. 14. Psal. 119. 109.

Why do you thus requite my kindness in running into such hazard to preserve you and yours?
