ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૪:૪૩
ત્યારે શાઉલે યોનાથાનને કહ્યું, “તેં શું કર્યું છે તે મને કહે.” યોનાથાને તેને કહ્યું કે, “મારા હાથમાં લાકડી હતી તેના છેડાથી મેં કેવળ થોડું મધ ચાખ્યું છે. હું અહી છું; મારે મરવું પડે એમ છે.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १४:४३
तब शाऊल ने योनातान से कहा, “मुझे बता, कि तूने क्या किया है।” योनातान ने बताया, और उससे कहा, “मैंने अपने हाथ की छड़ी की नोक से थोड़ा सा मधु चख तो लिया था; और देख, मुझे मरना है।”

In context

41Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.

42Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.

43Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”

44Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”

45The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
