And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
Saul heeded Jonathan and swore, As the Lord lives, David shall not be slain.
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death.
Saul listened to Jonathan and then swore, “As surely as the LORD lives, David won’t be executed.”
And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, "As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed."
