1 Samuel 14:45-47
New English Translation

45 But the army said to Saul, “Should Jonathan, who won this great victory in Israel, die? May it never be! As surely as the Lord lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground, for it is with the help of God that he has acted today.” So the army rescued Jonathan from death.[a]

46 Then Saul stopped chasing the Philistines, and the Philistines went back home.[b] 47 After Saul had secured his royal position over Israel, he fought against all their[c] enemies on all sides—the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. In every direction that he turned, he was victorious.[d]
