43 So Saul said to Jonathan, |Tell me what you have done.| Jonathan told him, |I used the end of the staff that was in my hand to taste a little honey. I must die!| 44 Saul said, |God will punish me severely if Jonathan doesn't die!| 45 But the army said to Saul, |Should Jonathan, who won this great victory in Israel, die? May it never be! As surely as the LORD lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground! For it is with the help of God that he has acted today.| So the army rescued Jonathan from death. 1 Samuel 14:43-45, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
