New King James Version
1 Samuel 14:38-44
38And Saul said, “Come over here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.
39For as the Lord lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But not a man among all the people answered him.
40Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and my son Jonathan and I will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
41Therefore Saul said to the Lord God of Israel, “Give a perfect lot.” So Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people escaped.
42And Saul said, “Cast lots between my son Jonathan and me.” So Jonathan was taken.
43Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan told him, and said, “I only tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. So now I must die!”
44Saul answered, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
