1 Samuel 14:45-47
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
45 Then the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As the Lord lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day.” So the people ransomed Jonathan, that he did not die. 46 Then Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

1 Samuel 14:45-47
New International Version
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(A) of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued(B) Jonathan, and he was not put to death.
46 Then Saul stopped pursuing the Philistines, and they withdrew to their own land.
47 After Saul had assumed rule over Israel, he fought against their enemies on every side: Moab,(C) the Ammonites,(D) Edom,(E) the kings[a] of Zobah,(F) and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment on them.[b]
