1 Samuel 14:36–42

³⁶Then Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until the morning light; let us not leave a man of them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” But ^jthe priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.” ³⁷And Saul inquired of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” ^kBut he did not answer him that day. ³⁸And Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people, and know and see how this sin has arisen today. ³⁹For ^las the Lord lives who saves Israel, ^mthough it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him. ⁴⁰Then he said to all Israel, “You shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.” ⁴¹Therefore Saul said, “O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this guilt is in your people Israel, give Thummim.”^{9 n}And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped. ⁴²Then Saul said, ⁿ“Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was taken.
