Young's Literal Translation 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. King James Bible And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel?
