Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
or in enmity smote him with his hand, so that he died; he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him.
then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
