That same day, Sarah was so overwhelmed with distress that she went to the upper room in her father’s house. She thought about hanging herself. But she reconsidered and said: “If people ever reproached my father and told him: ‘You had an only daughter whom you cherished, and she hanged herself because she was unhappy,’ I would cause my father to die of grief in his old age. I shouldn’t hang myself, but to ask the Lord to let me die and not have to endure any more insults.”
