1 Samuel 14:39-42
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.
