    39As surely as the Lord, who saves Israel, lives—even if it is my son Jonathan—he must die.' But no one among the people said a word.

    41Then Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel: 'Give a perfect lot.' Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the people were cleared.

    42Saul said, 'Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.' And Jonathan was taken.

    43Then Saul said to Jonathan, 'Tell me what you have done.' So Jonathan told him, 'I merely tasted a little honey with the tip of the staff that was in my hand, and now I must die?'

    44Saul said, 'May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not surely die, Jonathan.'

    45But the people said to Saul, 'Should Jonathan die, he who has brought about this great deliverance for Israel? Never! As surely as the Lord lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he acted with God’s help today.' So the people rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.
