1 Samuel 14:41-43

New International Reader's Version

⁴¹ Then Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel. He said, “Why haven’t you answered your servant today? If I or my son Jonathan is to blame, answer with Urim. But if the Israelites are to blame, answer with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen by casting lots. The other men were cleared of blame. ⁴² Saul said, “Cast the lot to find out whether I or my son Jonathan is to blame.” And Jonathan was chosen.

⁴³ Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.”

So Jonathan told him, “I used the end of my stick to get a little honey and taste it. And now do I have to die?”
