⁵² And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.

⁴⁵ And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.

¹¹ Then she said, Let the king keep in mind the Lord your God, so that he who gives punishment for blood may be kept back from further destruction and that no one may send death on my son. And he said, By the living Lord, not a hair of your son's head will come to the earth.

³⁴ So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.

²¹ And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother for a wife.

²² Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.

²³ Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.

²⁴ Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day.

²⁵ And King Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and he made an attack on him and put him to death.

²² He has no hope of coming safe out of the dark, and his fate will be the sword;

⁶ Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.

¹² The Upright One, looking on the house of the evil-doer, lets sinners be overturned to their destruction.

³⁰ But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

¹⁸ But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.
