Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴¹ So Saul said to the Lord, ‘God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant today? If the unrighteousness is in me or in my son Jonathan, Lord God of Israel, give Urim; but if the fault is in your people Israel, give Thummim.’^[a](A) Jonathan and Saul were selected, and the troops were cleared of the charge.

⁴² Then Saul said, ‘Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan,’ and Jonathan was selected. ⁴³ Saul commanded him, ‘Tell me what you did.’^(B)

Jonathan told him, ‘I tasted a little honey^(C) with the end of the staff I was carrying. I am ready to die! ’
