1 Samuel 14:39-45

VIN(i) 39 Indeed, as the LORD who delivers Israel lives, even if the sin is with my son Jonathan, he shall surely die!" Not a single one of the soldiers answered him. 40 Then Saul said to them: "All of you stand over there. Jonathan and I will stand over here." "Do whatever you think best," they answered. 41 Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, but the people escaped. 42 And Saul said: (Cast lots between me, and Jonathan, my son. And Jonathan was taken. 43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done! Jonathan told him, I only tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and now must I die? 44 Saul said, God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not die, Jonathan. 45 And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has worked out this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, so that he did not die.
