"Saul said,“God will punish me severely if Jonathan doesn’t die!”"
— 1 Samuel 14:44, NET Bible
“And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.”
“And Saul said, God do so and more also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. ”
“Saul said, "God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan."”
“And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.”
“And Saul said, May God's punishment be on me if death is not your fate, Jonathan.”
“And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.”
Then Saul said,“O LORD God of Israel! If this sin has been committed by me or by my son Jonathan, then, O LORD God of Israel, respond with Urim. But if this sin has been committed by your people Israel, respond with Thummim.” Then Jonathan and Saul were indicated by lot, while the army was exonerated.
Then Saul said,“Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan!” Jonathan was indicated by lot.
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!”
Saul said,“God will punish me severely if Jonathan doesn’t die!”
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.
Then Saul stopped chasing the Philistines, and the Philistines went back home.
After Saul had secured his royal position over Israel, he fought against all their enemies on all sides– the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. In every direction that he turned he was victorious.
