1 Samuel 14:39-42

39For 1as 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 2to you.” 41Therefore, Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, “3Give a 4perfect lot.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected by lot, but the people 5were exonerated. 42Then Saul said, “Cast lots between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was selected by lot.
