Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken : but the people escaped .
42
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 .
44
And Saul answered , God do so and more also : for thou shalt surely die , Jonathan.
45
And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die , who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? 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.
