1 Samuel 14:40-43
14:41 a Casting sacred lots involved the Urim and Thummim (Exod 28:30 b; Lev 8:8 c), which David also used when soliciting God’s guidance (1 Sam 23:2 d; 30:8 e; 2 Sam 2:1 f). 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.
