42 Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. Jonathan was taken.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done. Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, behold, I must die.
44 Saul said, God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.
45 The people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn't die.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
