1 Samuel 14:36-42

36Then Saul said, ‘We will go tonight and we will attack the Philistines again. We will chase them all night until dawn. We will kill all of them.’ The men answered, ‘Do whatever you think is right.’ But the priest said, ‘We should ask God first.’

37Saul asked God, ‘Should we attack the Philistines? Will you give us power over them?’ But God did not answer Saul that day.

38So Saul said to all the leaders of the army, ‘Come here. Someone has done a bad thing today. We must find out who has done it.

39The Lord is the one who rescues Israel. As surely as the Lord lives, I promise that I will punish the man who has done this bad thing. Whoever it is must die, even if it is my own son Jonathan.’ But nobody in the army said anything.

40Saul 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.’

41Then 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.’ The stones chose Jonathan and Saul. They did not choose the soldiers of the army.

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