1 Samuel 14:38-44

38Then Saul said, “12Come here, all you 3leaders of the people, and investigate and see how this sin has happened today. 39For 4as the Lord lives, who saves Israel, even if it is in my son Jonathan, he shall assuredly die!” But not one of all the people answered him. 40Then he said to all Israel, “You shall be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul, “Do what seems good 5to you.” 41Therefore, Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, “6Give a 7perfect lot.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected by lot, but the people 8were exonerated. 42Then Saul said, “Cast lots between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was selected by lot.

43So Saul said to Jonathan, “9Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan told him, and said, “10I did indeed taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die!” 44And Saul said, “11May God do the same to me and more also, for 12you shall certainly die, Jonathan!”
