43 |Tell me,| Saul asked Jonathan. |What did you do?| So Jonathan told him, |I tasted a little honey on the tip of the staff I had in my hand. And for that I am to die?| 44 Saul said, |May God do worse things to me than are in this curse if you do not die, Jonathan!| 45 The troops asked Saul, |Should Jonathan die after he has won this great victory in Israel? That would be unthinkable! We solemnly swear, as the LORD lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground, because he has done this with God's help today.| So the troops rescued Jonathan from death. 1 Samuel 14:43-45, God's Word Translation.
