New American Standard Bible
44 And Saul said, “(A)May God do the same to me and more also, for (B)you shall certainly die, Jonathan!” 45 But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die, he who has [a]brought about this great [b]victory in Israel? Far from it! As the Lord lives, (C)not even a hair of his head shall fall to the ground, because (D)he has worked with God this day.” So the people [c]rescued Jonathan and he did not die. 46 Then Saul went up from [d]pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

1 Samuel 14:44-46
New International Version
44 Saul said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(A) if you do not die, Jonathan.(B)”
45 But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the Lord lives, not a hair(C) of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued(D) Jonathan, and he was not put to death.
46 Then Saul stopped pursuing the Philistines, and they withdrew to their own land.

44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: 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.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
