1 Samuel 14:35-37

Lexham English Bible

Jonathan Rescued from His Father Saul

³⁵ Then Saul built an altar to Yahweh; it was the first altar he built^[a] to Yahweh. ³⁶ Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and let us plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave alive a man among them.” So they said, “Do all that is good in your eyes.” But the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.” ³⁷ So Saul inquired of God, “Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” But he did not answer him on that day.
