No answer to Saul that day; Jonathan is selected, and the people rescue him

사울의 물음에 대답지 아니하신 날 요나단이 뽑히고 백성이 요나단을 구원함

1 Samuel 14:36–46: Saul says, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They say, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest says, “Let’s draw near here to God.” Saul asks counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he doesn’t answer him that day. Saul says, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today. For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there is not a man among all the people who answers him. Then he says to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people say to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.” Therefore Saul says to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul are chosen, but the people escape. Saul says, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan is selected. Then Saul says to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan tells him, and says, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.” Saul says, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.” The people say to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescue Jonathan, so he doesn’t die. Then Saul goes up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines go to their own place.
