But he didn't answer him that day. 38 Saul said, Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people; and know and see in which this sin has been this day. 39 For, as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.

The people said to Saul, Do what seems good to you. 41 Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, Show the right.
