1 Samuel 14:39-45
39For, [as] Jehovah liveth, who has saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall certainly die. And no one answered him among all the people.
40Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in thy sight.
41And Saul said to Jehovah the 1God of Israel, Give a perfect [testimony]! And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
42And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
43And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him and said, With the end of the staff which is in my hand I tasted a little honey, [and] behold, I must die!
44And Saul said, 2God do so [to me] and more also; thou shalt certainly die, Jonathan.
45And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! [as] Jehovah liveth, there shall not a hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with 3God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not.
