Now the men H376 of Israel H3478 had sworn H7650 in Mizpeh, H4709 saying, H559 There shall not any H376 of us give H5414 his daughter H1323 to Benjamin H1144 to wife. H802

However, we may H3201 not give H5414 them wives H802 of our daughters: H1323 for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have sworn, H7650 saying, H559 Cursed H779 be he that gives H5414 a wife H802 to Benjamin. H1144

Then answered H6030 one of the people, H5971 and said, H559 Your father H1 straightly charged H7650 the people H5971 with an oath, H7650 saying, H559 Cursed H779 be the man H376 that eats H398 any food H3899 this day. H3117 And the people H5971 were faint. H5774

Then said H559 Jonathan, H3129 My father H1 has troubled H5916 the land: H776 see, H7200 I pray H4994 you, how H3588 my eyes H5869 have been enlightened, H215 because H3588 I tasted H2938 a little H4592 of this H2088 honey. H1706

And the people H5971 said H559 to Saul, H7586 Shall Jonathan H3129 die, H4191 who H834 has worked H6213 this H2088 great H1419 salvation H3444 in Israel? H3478 God forbid: H2486 as the LORD H3068 lives, H2416 there shall not one hair H8185 of his head H7218 fall H5307 to the ground; H776 for he has worked H6213 with God H430 this H2088 day. H3117 So the people H5971 rescued H6299 Jonathan, H3129 that he died H4191 not.
