If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this guilt is in your people Israel, give Thummim.”[a] (C)And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped. 42 Then Saul said, (D)“Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was taken.

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(E) between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
