1 Samuel 14:43-45

Modern English Version

⁴³ Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.”

And Jonathan told him, and said, “I indeed tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am. I must die.”

⁴⁴ Saul said, “May God do so to me and more also, for you will surely die, Jonathan.”

⁴⁵ The people said to Saul, “Will Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? God forbid. As the Lord lives, there will not one hair of his head fall to the ground. For he has worked with God this day.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
