1 Samuel 14:43-45

Living Bible

⁴³ “Tell me what you’ve done,” Saul demanded of Jonathan.

“I tasted a little honey,” Jonathan admitted. “It was only a little bit on the end of a stick; but now I must die.”

⁴⁴ “Yes, Jonathan,” Saul said, “you must die; may God strike me dead if you are not executed for this.”

⁴⁵ But the troops retorted, “Jonathan, who saved Israel today, shall die? Far from it! We vow by the life of God that not one hair on his head will be touched, for he has been used of God to do a mighty miracle today.” So the people rescued Jonathan.
