1 Samuel 14:36–42

³⁶And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever is good in thy sight. Then said the priest, Let us come near hither to God. ³⁷And Saul inquired of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day. ³⁸And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the heads of the people; and know and see wherein this sin has been this day. ³⁹For, as Jehovah liveth, who has saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall certainly die. And no one answered him among all the people. ⁴⁰Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in thy sight. ⁴¹And Saul said to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give a perfect testimony! And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped. ⁴²And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
