Names of God Bible
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.
42 “Choose between me and my son Jonathan,” Saul said. Then Jonathan was chosen.

40 Saul then said to all the Israelites, “You stand over there; I and Jonathan my son will stand over here.”
“Do what seems best to you,” they replied.
41 Then Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the men of Israel are at fault,[a] respond with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the men were cleared. 42 Saul said, “Cast the lot(A) between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
