* For , as the LORD liveth , which saveth Israel Yisra #el #, though it be in Jonathan my son , he shall surely die . But there was not a man among all the people that answered him . * Then said he unto all Israel Yisra #el #, Be ye on one side , and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side . And the people said unto Saul Sha #uwl #, Do what seemeth good unto thee . * Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel Yisra #el #, Give a perfect lot . And Saul and Jonathan were taken : but the people escaped . * And Saul said , Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son . And Jonathan was taken . * Then Saul said to Jonathan , Tell me what thou hast done . And Jonathan told him , and said , I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand , and , lo , I must die . * And Saul answered , God do so and more also : for thou shalt surely die , Jonathan . * And the people said unto Saul Sha #uwl #, Shall Jonathan die , who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel Yisra #el #? God forbid : as the LORD liveth , there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground ; for he hath wrought with God this day . So the people rescued Jonathan , that he died not .
