1 Samuel 14:41
So Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Why have You not answered Your servant this day? If the fault is with me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim; but if the fault is with the men of Israel, respond with Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected, but the people were cleared of the charge.
Note LXX and Vulgate; MT contains only the short quotation, “Give a perfect (lot).”
Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
Note Give…: or, Shew the innocent
Note escaped: Heb. went forth
Therefore Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot; but the people escaped.
