‏ 1 Samuel 14:39-42

v. 39-42: Saul uses lots to identify the guilty person. He first divides the people into two groups: himself and Jonathan on one side, and all the people on the other. He prays that God will reveal the truth through the lots. When the lot points to Saul and Jonathan, another lot is cast, and it falls on Jonathan. This shows that God supports justice, even when it involves a leader’s family (1 Samuel 14:39-42; 1 Samuel 14:39-42 a).
