Context of 1 Samuel 14:46
44And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. 45And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? By no means: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not. Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place. 47So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he smote them . 48And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of them that spoiled them.

Jonathan was discovered to be the offender. Those most indulgent to their own sins are most severe…Read the comment

Saul was estranged from both Samuel and his brave son Jonathan. 1 Samuel 14 foreshadows Jonathan's important role in the shift from Saul's rule to David's.Read the comment
