New Testament
1 Samuel 14:41-42
41So Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, ˻“Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the fault is with the men of Israel,˼[] respond with Thummim.”
Then Jonathan and Saul were chosen, and the people were not chosen.
42Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. ˻The person the Lord identifies by lot shall be put to death.”
Footnotes
- 14:41 The words in the half-brackets above Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the fault is with the men of Israel, are not in the Hebrew text but are present in the Greek Old Testament. They give a clearer statement of Saul's request. The possible accidental omission from the Hebrew text may have been triggered by the repetition of the word Israel.
- 14:42 The words in the half-brackets above “The person the Lord identifies by lot shall be put to death.” But the people said to Saul, “Absolutely not.” But Saul overruled the people, so they cast lots between him and Jonathan his son, are not in the Hebrew text but are present in the Greek Old Testament. The accidental omission from the Hebrew text may have been triggered by the repetition of the word son.
