1 Samuel 14:40-42

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴⁰ He said to all Israel, “You shall be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.” ⁴¹ Then Saul said, “O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant today? If this guilt is in me or in my son Jonathan, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim; but if this guilt is in your people Israel,^[a] give Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were indicated by the lot, but the people were cleared. ⁴² Then Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was taken.
