撒母耳记上14:36~46
36 扫罗说:「我们不如夜里下去追赶非利士人,抢掠他们,直到天亮,不留他们一人。」众民说:「你看怎样好就去行吧!」祭司说:「我们先当亲近 SHEN 。」
37 扫罗求问 SHEN 说:「我下去追赶非利士人可以不可以?你将他们交在以色列人手里不交?」这日 SHEN 没有回答他。
38 扫罗说:「你们百姓中的长老都上这里来,查明今日是谁犯了罪。
39 我指着救以色列-永生的耶/和/华起誓,就是我儿子约拿单犯了罪,他也必死。」但百姓中无一人回答他。
40 扫罗就对以色列众人说:「你们站在一边,我与我儿子约拿单也站在一边。」百姓对扫罗说:「你看怎样好就去行吧!」
41 扫罗dao告耶/和/华-以色列的 SHEN 说:「求你指示实情。」于是掣签掣出扫罗和约拿单来;百姓尽都无事。
42 扫罗说:「你们再掣签,看是我,是我儿子约拿单」,就掣出约拿单来。
43 扫罗对约拿单说:「你告诉我,你做了什么事?」约拿单说:「我实在以手里的杖,用杖头蘸了一点蜜尝了一尝。这样我就死吗?」
44 扫罗说:「约拿单哪,你定要死!若不然,愿 SHEN 重重地降罚与我。」
45 百姓对扫罗说:「约拿单在以色列人中这样大行拯救,岂可使他死呢?断乎不可!我们指着永生的耶/和/华起誓,连他的一根头发也不可落地,因为他今日与 SHEN 一同做事。」于是百姓救约拿单免了死亡。
46 扫罗回去,不追赶非利士人;非利士人也回本地去了。
36 Saul said, “Let us go down and pursue the Philistines by night and plunder them till dawn, and let us not leave one of them alive.”“Do whatever seems best to you,” they replied.But the priest said, “Let us inquire of God here.”
37 So Saul asked God, “Shall I go down and pursue the Philistines? Will you give them into Israel’s hand?” But God did not answer him that day.
38 Saul therefore said, “Come here, all you who are leaders of the army, and let us find out what sin has been committed today.
39 As surely as the Lord who rescues Israel lives, even if the guilt lies with my son Jonathan, he must die.” But not one of them said a word.
40 Saul then said to all the Israelites, “You stand over there; I and Jonathan my son will stand over here.”“Do what seems best to you,” they replied.
41 Then Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the men of Israel are at fault, respond with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the men were cleared.
42 Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.”So Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey with the end of my staff. And now I must die!”
44 Saul said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not die, Jonathan.”
45 But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the Lord lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.
46 Then Saul stopped pursuing the Philistines, and they withdrew to their own land.
