Lexham English Bible
38 Then Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people, so that we find out[a] what the sin was this day. 39 For as Yahweh lives, who delivers Israel, I swear that even if it is in Jonathan my son, he will certainly die!”[b] But nobody from all the army answered him. 40 Then he said to all Israel, “You will be on one side,[c] and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other.”[d] And the army said to Saul, “Do what is good in your eyes.”

New International Version
38 Saul therefore said, “Come here, all you who are leaders of the army, and let us find out what sin has been committed(A) today. 39 As surely as the Lord who rescues Israel lives,(B) even if the guilt lies with my son Jonathan,(C) he must die.”(D) 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.
