1 Samuel 14:38-40

New International Version - UK

³⁸ Saul therefore said, ‘Come here, all you who are leaders of the army, and let us find out what sin has been committed today. ³⁹ As surely as the Lord who rescues Israel lives, even if the guilt lies with my son Jonathan, he must die.’ But not one of them said a word.

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.
