1 Samuel 14:40-42

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴⁰ Saul said to all the Israelites, ‘You stand on this side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.’

The people answered, ‘Do what you think is right.’

⁴¹ Then Saul prayed to the Lord, Israel's God. He said, ‘Please show us who has done this sin. Let the special stones, Urim and Thummim, show who has done it.’^[a] The stones chose Jonathan and Saul. They did not choose the soldiers of the army.

⁴² Then Saul said, ‘Let the stones show whether it was Jonathan or me.’ The stones chose Jonathan.
