1 Samuel 14:38-40

Living Bible

³⁸ Then Saul said to the leaders, “Something’s wrong!^[a] We must find out what sin was committed today. ³⁹ I vow by the name of the God who saved Israel that though the sinner be my own son Jonathan, he shall surely die!” But no one would tell him what the trouble was.

⁴⁰ Then Saul proposed, “Jonathan and I will stand over here, and all of you stand over there.” And the people agreed.
