Lexham English Bible
44 Then Saul said, “So may God do to me and more,[a] you will certainly die today, Jonathan!” 45 But the army said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die, who accomplished this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, not a hair from his head will fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the army ransomed Jonathan and he did not die.
46 Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their place.
