Allora Saul disse a Gionathan: "Dimmi ci che hai fatto". Gionathan gli dichiar e disse: "Ho assaggiato un po di miele con la punta del bastone che avevo in mano; eccomi, morir"
Allora Saulle disse a Gionatan: Dichiarami ciò che tu hai fatto. E Gionatan gliel dichiarò, e disse: Io di vero ho assaggiato con la cima della bacchetta ch’io avea nella mano, un poco di miele; eccomi, ho io da morire?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Saul said to Jonathan, tell me what thou hast done,.... What sin he had committed, the lot having fallen on him, and found him out:
and Jonathan told him; the whole of the matter, all the truth, without any reserve:
and said, I did but take a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand; he speaks of the fact as a trivial thing, as if it was not deserving of death, though he was willing to submit to it; yet it seems strange he should say nothing of his ignorance of the charge and oath of Saul, and plead that in excuse of it; though Josephus h makes him to take notice of it: and, "lo, I must die"; am condemned to die, as the Targum; for which he was prepared and ready, being willing to testify an entire subjection to his father's authority and will. Josephus i represents him speaking with a generosity and greatness of soul, after this manner,
"death is most sweet to me, which is for the sake of maintaining thy piety and religion; and after so glorious a victory, it is the greatest consolation to me to leave the Hebrews conquerors of the Philistines.''
