1 Samuel 14:43-45

International Standard Version

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

So Jonathan spoke to him: “I did taste a little honey from the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am; I’m ready to die!”

⁴⁴ Saul said, “May God do this to me^[a] and even more, if you don’t surely die, Jonathan!”

⁴⁵ Then the army told Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who brought about this great deliverance in Israel? As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head will fall to the ground, because today he did this with God’s help.”^[b]
