1Sa 14:45 | MHM | STEP | v. 45 : The people refuse to let Jonathan die. They argue that Jonathan has worked with God to bring victory to Israel, and his life should not be taken for such a minor offense. The people declare that not even a hair of Jonathan’s head should fall to the ground. Their reasoning prevails, and Jonathan is saved. This shows how God can use others to protect the innocent when leaders make poor decisions (1 Samuel 14:45; 1 Samuel 14:45 ).
