1 Samuel 14:43-45
Young's Literal Translation
43 And Saul saith unto Jonathan, `Declare to me, what hast thou done?' and Jonathan declareth to him, and saith, `I certainly tasted with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand a little honey; lo, I die!'
44 And Saul saith, `Thus doth God do, and thus doth He add, for thou dost certainly die, Jonathan.'
45 And the people say unto Saul, `Doth Jonathan die who wrought this great salvation in Israel? -- a profanation! Jehovah liveth, if there falleth from the hair of his head to the earth, for with God he hath wrought this day;' and the people rescue Jonathan, and he hath not died.

1 Samuel 14:43-45
New International Version
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.”(A)
So Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey(B) with the end of my staff. And now I must die!”
44 Saul said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(C) if you do not die, Jonathan.(D)”
45 But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the Lord lives, not a hair(E) of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued(F) Jonathan, and he was not put to death.
