38 And Saul said, Draw nigh hither, all ye chiefs of the people; and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
39 For, as Jehovah liveth, who saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.
40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
41 Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken 'by lot'; but the people escaped.
42 And Saul said, Cast 'lots' between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
