1 Samuel 14:36-46

36And SaulH7586 saidH559, LetH3381 usH413 goH3381 downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430 by nightH3915, and spoilH962 them untilH5704 the morningH1242 lightH216, and letH3381 usH413 notH3808 leaveH7604 a manH376 of them. And they saidH559, DoH6213 whatsoeverH3605 seemeth goodH2896 unto thee. Then saidH559 the priestH3548, LetH3381 usH413 drawH7126 nearH7126 hither unto GodH430.

37And SaulH7586 askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, Shall I goH3381 downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430? wilt thou deliverH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of IsraelH3478? But he answeredH6030 him notH3808 that dayH3117.

38And SaulH7586 saidH559, DrawH5066 nigh hither, allH3605 ye chiefsH6438 of the peopleH5971: and knowH3045 and seeH7200 wherein this sinH2403 hath been this dayH3117.

39For, as the LORDH3068 liveth, which saveth IsraelH3478, thoughH3588 it be in JonathanH3129 my sonH1121, he shall surelyH3588 dieH4191. But there was notH369 a manH1121 among allH3605 the peopleH5971 that answeredH6030 him.

40Then saidH559 he unto allH3605 IsraelH3478, Be ye on one sideH5676, and I and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121 will be on the otherH259 sideH5676. And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, DoH6213 whatH2896 seemeth goodH2896 unto thee.

41Therefore SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Shew the right. And JonathanH3129 and SaulH7586 were takenH3920 by lot: but the peopleH5971 escapedH3318.

42And SaulH7586 saidH559, CastH5307 lots betweenH996 meH3920 and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121. And JonathanH3129 was takenH3920.

43Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to JonathanH3129, TellH5046 meH413 whatH4100 thou hast doneH6213. And JonathanH3129 toldH5046 him, and saidH559, I didH6213 certainlyH4191 tasteH2938 a littleH4592 honeyH1706 with the endH7097 of the rodH4294 that was in mine handH3027; and, loH2005, I mustH4191 dieH4191.

44And SaulH7586 saidH559, GodH430 doH6213 soH6213 and moreH3254 also: for thou shalt surelyH3588 dieH4191, JonathanH3129.

45And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Shall JonathanH3129 dieH4191, who hath wrought this greatH1419 salvationH3444 in IsraelH3478? GodH430 forbidH2486: as the LORDH3068 liveth, there shall notH3808 one hairH8185 of his headH7218 fallH5307 to the groundH776; for he hath wrought with GodH430 this dayH3117. SoH6213 the peopleH5971 rescuedH6299 JonathanH3129, that he diedH4191 notH3808.

46Then SaulH7586 wentH1980 upH5927 from followingH310 the PhilistinesH6430: and the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 to their own placeH4725.
