1 Samuel 14:40-42

Living Bible

⁴⁰ Then Saul proposed, “Jonathan and I will stand over here, and all of you stand over there.” And the people agreed.

⁴¹ Then Saul said, “O Lord God of Israel, why haven’t you answered my question? What is wrong? Are Jonathan and I guilty, or is the sin among the others? O Lord God, show us who is guilty.” And Jonathan and Saul were chosen by sacred lot as the guilty ones, and the people were declared innocent.

⁴² Then Saul said, “Now draw lots between me and Jonathan.” And Jonathan was chosen as the guilty one.
