1 Samuel 14:35-37

New International Reader's Version

³⁵ Then Saul built an altar to honor the Lord. It was the first time he had done that.

³⁶ Saul said, “Let’s go down and chase after the Philistines tonight. Let’s not leave even one of them alive. Let’s take everything they have before morning.”

“Do what you think is best,” they replied.

But the priest said, “Let’s ask God for advice first.”

³⁷ So Saul asked God, “Should I go down and chase after the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel?” But God didn’t answer him that day.
