1 Samuel 14:36-42
Summary for 1Sam 14:37-38: 14:37-38 a God made no reply: Neither the “no” lot nor the “yes” lot of the Urim and Thummim appeared.14:41 b Casting sacred lots involved the Urim and Thummim (Exod 28:30 c; Lev 8:8 d), which David also used when soliciting God’s guidance (1 Sam 23:2 e; 30:8 f; 2 Sam 2:1 g). The Urim and Thummim were two small objects (perhaps flat stones, sticks, or arrows) that may have been cast like dice. They would provide a positive answer, a neutral response, or a negative answer.
