43 “Tell me what you have done,” Saul (desired) commanded him (YHWH has given). So Jonathan told him, “I only tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. And now I must die?” 44 And Saul (desired) declared, “May God {Elohim} punish me, and ever so severely, if you, Jonathan (YHWH has given), do not surely die!” 45 But the people said to Saul (desired), “Must Jonathan (YHWH has given) die—he who accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel (he wrestles with God)? Never! As surely as the LORD {YHWH} lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for with God’s help he has accomplished this today.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die. 1 Samuel 14:43-45, Berean Annotated Bible.
