1 Samuel 14:38-40

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁸ Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people; and let us find out how this sin has arisen today. ³⁹ For as the Lord lives who saves Israel, even if it is in my son Jonathan, he shall surely die!” But there was no one among all the people who answered him. 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.”
