Here I am, I must die!” 44 And Saul said, “(C)May God do the same to me and more also, for (D)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, (E)not even a hair of his head shall fall to the ground, because (F)he has worked with God this day.” So the people [c]rescued Jonathan and he did not die.
