1 Samuel 14:36-46

36And SaulH7586 saidH559, Let us go downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430 by nightH3915, and spoilH962 them until the morningH1242 lightH216, and let us not leaveH7604 a manH376 of them. And they saidH559, DoH6213 whatever seemethH5869 goodH2896 to thee. Then saidH559 the priestH3548, Let us draw nearH7126 to GodH430 hereH1988. 37And SaulH7586 askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, Shall I go downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430? wilt thou deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478? But he answeredH6030 him not that dayH3117. 38And SaulH7586 saidH559, Come yeH5066 hereH1988, all the chiefH6438 of the peopleH5971: and knowH3045 and seeH7200 whatH4100 this sinH2403 hath been this dayH3117.1 39For, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, who savethH3467 IsraelH3478, though it isH3426 in JonathanH3129 my sonH1121, he shall surelyH4191 dieH4191. But there was not a man among all the peopleH5971 that answeredH6030 him. 40Then saidH559 he to all IsraelH3478, Be ye on oneH259 sideH5676, and I and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121 will be on the otherH259 sideH5676. And the peopleH5971 saidH559 to SaulH7586, DoH6213 what seemethH5869 goodH2896 to thee. 41Therefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, GiveH3051 a perfectH8549 lot . And SaulH7586 and JonathanH3129 were takenH3920: but the peopleH5971 escapedH3318.23 42And SaulH7586 saidH559, CastH5307 lots between me and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121. And JonathanH3129 was takenH3920. 43Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to JonathanH3129, TellH5046 me what thou hast doneH6213. And JonathanH3129 toldH5046 him, and saidH559, I did butH2938 tasteH2938 a littleH4592 honeyH1706 with the endH7097 of the rodH4294 that was in my handH3027, and, loH2009, I must dieH4191. 44And SaulH7586 answeredH559, GodH430 do soH6213 and more alsoH3254: for thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, JonathanH3129. 45And the peopleH5971 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Shall JonathanH3129 dieH4191, who hath wroughtH6213 this greatH1419 salvationH3444 in IsraelH3478? By no meansH2486: as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shall not one hairH8185 of his headH7218 fallH5307 to the groundH776; for he hath wroughtH6213 with GodH430 this dayH3117. So the peopleH5971 rescuedH6299 JonathanH3129, that he diedH4191 not. 46Then SaulH7586 went upH5927 from followingH310 the PhilistinesH6430: and the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 to their own placeH4725.
