1 Samuel 14:39-41
Names of God Bible
39 I solemnly swear, as Yahweh and Savior of Israel lives, even if it is my son Jonathan who did it, he must die.” But not one of the soldiers replied.
40 Saul told all Israel, “You stand on one side, and my son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.”
“Do whatever you think is best,” the troops responded to Saul.
41 Then Saul said to Yahweh, “O Elohim of Israel, why didn’t you answer me today? If this sin is mine or my son Jonathan’s, Yahweh Elohim of Israel, let the priest draw Urim. But if it is in your people Israel,[a] let him draw Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, and the people were freed from guilt.
