But the soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan led Israel to a great victory today. Must Jonathan die? Never! We swear (promise) by the living God that {no one will hurt Jonathan}—not one hair of Jonathan’s head will fall to the ground! God helped Jonathan fight against the Philistines today!” So the people saved Jonathan. He was not put to death.
