Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע שָׁא֖וּל בְּק֣וֹל יְהוֹנָתָ֑ן
and=he/it_listened Shāʼūl in/on/at/with,voice_of Yōnātān/(Jonathan)
The author is using the term voice by association to mean what Jonathan said by using his voice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And Saul listened to what Jonathan said]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע שָׁא֖וּל בְּק֣וֹל יְהוֹנָתָ֑ן
and=he/it_listened Shāʼūl in/on/at/with,voice_of Yōnātān/(Jonathan)
The author assumes that his readers will know that by listened, he means that Saul agreed to do what Jonathan said. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And Saul agreed to do what Jonathan said]
Note 3 topic: writing-oathformula
חַי־יְהוָ֖ה אִם־יוּמָֽת
he/it_lived YHWH if put_to_death
Following the custom of his culture, Saul is swearing an oath by guaranteeing it by something he holds sacred. Use a natural way in your language to express an oath. Alternate translation: [I swear by Yahweh that David shall not be killed]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אִם־יוּמָֽת
if put_to_death
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I will not kill him]
19:6 vowed: Violating a vow is a serious offense against God (see Num 30:2; Deut 23:21-23; cp. Eccl 5:4-5). But Saul soon disregarded his promise and again sought to kill David (1 Sam 19:9-24).

OET (OET-RV) Sha’ul listened to Yonatan, then he promised, “As surely as Yahweh lives, he won’t be put to death.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
