1 Samuel 14:43-45
1599 Geneva Bible
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I tasted a little honey with the end of the rod, that was in mine hand, and lo, I must die.
44 Again Saul answered, God do so and more also, unless thou die the death, Jonathan.
45 And the people said unto Saul, [a]Shall Jonathan die, who hath so mightily delivered 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 delivered Jonathan that he died not.
