36Then Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until the light of the morning, and let us not leave a man among them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good in your eyes.” But the priest said, “Let us draw near here to God.”

37Then Saul inquired of God, “Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” But he did not answer him that day.

38Then Saul said, “Come here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see by what this sin has happened today.”

39For as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, even if it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But not one of all the people answered him.
