1 Samuel 14:37-41

37So SaulH7586 1inquiredH7592 of GodH430: “Shall I goH3381 downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430? Will You handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to IsraelH3478?” But 2He did not answerH6030 him on that dayH3117.

38Then SaulH7586 saidH559, “34ComeH5066 hereH1988, allH3605 you 5leadersH6438 of the peopleH5971, and investigateH3045 and seeH7200 howH4100 thisH2088 sinH2403 has happenedH1961 todayH3117.

39For 6as the LordH3068 livesH2416, who savesH3467 IsraelH3478, evenH3588 ifH518 it is in my sonH1121 JonathanH3083, he shall assuredlyH3588H4191 dieH4191!” But not oneH369 of allH3605 the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him.

40Then he saidH559 to allH3605 IsraelH3478, “You shall be on oneH259 sideH5676, and I and my sonH1121 JonathanH3083 will be on the otherH259 sideH5676.” And the peopleH5971 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “DoH6213 whatH2896 seems goodH2896 7to you.”

41Therefore, SaulH7586 saidH559 to the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “8GiveH3051 a 9perfectH8549 lot.” And JonathanH3083 and SaulH7586 were selectedH3920 byH3920 lotH3920, but the peopleH5971 10were exoneratedH3318.
