1 Samuel 14:42-44

New International Reader's Version

⁴² Saul said, “Cast the lot to find out whether I or my son Jonathan is to blame.” And Jonathan was chosen.

⁴³ Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.”

So Jonathan told him, “I used the end of my stick to get a little honey and taste it. And now do I have to die?”

⁴⁴ Saul said, “Jonathan, I must certainly put you to death. If I don’t, may God punish me greatly.”
