1 Samuel 14:38-40

New Catholic Bible

³⁸ So Saul said, “Let all of the leaders of the people draw near so that we can know and find out what sin has been committed today. ³⁹ As the Lord who delivers Israel lives, even if it be Jonathan, my son, that man will surely die.” But none of the people answered him.

⁴⁰ He then said to all of Israel, “You stand on one side, I and Jonathan my son will stand on the other.” The people said to Saul, “Do what you think is best.”
