1 Samuel 14:36-46

36Then SaulH7586 saidH559, “Let’s goH3381 downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430 by nightH3915 and takeH962 plunderH962 among them untilH5704 the morningH1242 lightH216, and let’s not leaveH7604 a manH376 among them aliveH7604.” And they saidH559, “DoH6213 whateverH3605 seems goodH2896 1to you.” So 2the priestH3548 saidH559, “Let’s approachH7126 GodH430 hereH1988.” 37So SaulH7586 3inquiredH7592 of GodH430: “Shall I goH3381 downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430? Will You handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to IsraelH3478?” But 4He did not answerH6030 him on that dayH3117. 38Then SaulH7586 saidH559, “56ComeH5066 hereH1988, allH3605 you 7leadersH6438 of the peopleH5971, and investigateH3045 and seeH7200 howH4100 thisH2088 sinH2403 has happenedH1961 todayH3117. 39For 8as the LordH3068 livesH2416, who savesH3467 IsraelH3478, evenH3588 ifH518 it is in my sonH1121 JonathanH3083, he shall assuredlyH3588H4191 dieH4191!” But not oneH369 of allH3605 the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him. 40Then he saidH559 to allH3605 IsraelH3478, “You shall be on oneH259 sideH5676, and I and my sonH1121 JonathanH3083 will be on the otherH259 sideH5676.” And the peopleH5971 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “DoH6213 whatH2896 seems goodH2896 9to you.” 41Therefore, SaulH7586 saidH559 to the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “10GiveH3051 a 11perfectH8549 lot.” And JonathanH3083 and SaulH7586 were selectedH3920 byH3920 lotH3920, but the peopleH5971 12were exoneratedH3318. 42Then SaulH7586 saidH559, “CastH5307 lots betweenH996 me and my sonH1121 JonathanH3083.” And JonathanH3083 was selectedH3920 byH3920 lotH3920.

43So SaulH7586 saidH559 to JonathanH3083, “13TellH5046 me whatH4100 you have doneH6213.” And JonathanH3083 toldH5046 him, and saidH559, “14I did indeedH2938 tasteH2938 a littleH4592 honeyH1706 with the endH7097 of the staffH4294 that was in my handH3027. HereH2009 I am, I must dieH4191!” 44And SaulH7586 saidH559, “15May GodH430 doH6213 the sameH3541 to me and moreH3254 alsoH3541, for 16you shall certainlyH4191 dieH4191, JonathanH3083!” 45But the peopleH5971 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “Must JonathanH3083 dieH4191, he whoH834 has 17broughtH6213 aboutH6213 thisH2088 greatH1419 18victoryH3444 in IsraelH3478? FarH2486 from it! As the LordH3068 livesH2416, 19not even a hairH8185 of his headH7218 shall fallH5307 to the groundH776, becauseH3588 20he has workedH6213 with GodH430 thisH2088 dayH3117.” So the peopleH5971 21rescuedH6299 JonathanH3083 and he did not dieH4191. 46Then SaulH7586 wentH5927 upH5927 from 22pursuingH310 the PhilistinesH6430, and the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 to their own placeH4725.
