1 Samuel 14:39-45

39For 1as 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 2to you.” 41Therefore, SaulH7586 saidH559 to the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “3GiveH3051 a 4perfectH8549 lot.” And JonathanH3083 and SaulH7586 were selectedH3920 byH3920 lotH3920, but the peopleH5971 5were exoneratedH3318. 42Then SaulH7586 saidH559, “CastH5307 lots betweenH996 me and my sonH1121 JonathanH3083.” And JonathanH3083 was selectedH3920 byH3920 lotH3920.

43So SaulH7586 saidH559 to JonathanH3083, “6TellH5046 me whatH4100 you have doneH6213.” And JonathanH3083 toldH5046 him, and saidH559, “7I 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, “8May GodH430 doH6213 the sameH3541 to me and moreH3254 alsoH3541, for 9you shall certainlyH4191 dieH4191, JonathanH3083!” 45But the peopleH5971 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “Must JonathanH3083 dieH4191, he whoH834 has 10broughtH6213 aboutH6213 thisH2088 greatH1419 11victoryH3444 in IsraelH3478? FarH2486 from it! As the LordH3068 livesH2416, 12not even a hairH8185 of his headH7218 shall fallH5307 to the groundH776, becauseH3588 13he has workedH6213 with GodH430 thisH2088 dayH3117.” So the peopleH5971 14rescuedH6299 JonathanH3083 and he did not dieH4191.
