1 Samuel 14:38-40

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³⁸ Saul said, ‘All you leaders of the troops, come here. Let’s investigate^[a] how this sin has occurred today. ³⁹ As surely as the Lord lives who saves Israel, even if it is because of my son Jonathan, he must die! ’ Not one of the troops answered him.

⁴⁰ So he said to all Israel, ‘You will be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side.’

And the troops replied, ‘Do whatever you want.’
