Contextual Overview

³⁶And Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until dawn, leaving no man alive!" "Do whatever seems good to you," the troops replied. But the priest said, "We must consult God here." ³⁷So Saul inquired of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?" But God did not answer him that day. ³⁸Therefore Saul said, "Come here, all you leaders of the troops, and let us investigate how this sin has occurred today. ³⁹As surely as the LORD lives who delivers Israel, even if it is my son Jonathan, he must die!" But not one of the troops said a word. ⁴⁰Then Saul said to all Israel, "You stand on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the other side." And the troops replied, "Do what seems good to you." ⁴¹So Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, "Why have You not answered Your servant this day? If the fault is with me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim; but if the fault is with the men of Israel, respond with Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were selected, but the people were cleared of the charge. ⁴²Then Saul said, "Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan." And Jonathan was selected. ⁴³"Tell me what you have done," Saul commanded him. So Jonathan told him, "I only tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. And now I must die?" ⁴⁴And Saul declared "May God punish me, and ever so severely, if you, Jonathan, do not surely die!" ⁴⁵But the people said to Saul, "Must Jonathan die-he who accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for with God's help he has accomplished this today." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines,.... Returned home to his own city, finding that he could get no answer from the Lord, whether he should pursue further or not, and losing the time and opportunity of doing it, by examining into the affair of his son, and casting lots to find it out:

and the Philistines went to their own place; their country and cities, such of them as remained, who were not cut off by their own and the sword of the Israelites. Josephus n says, Saul killed about 60,000 of them. It seems to be the will of God that they should not now be utterly destroyed, that they might be a rod of correction in his hand, to chastise the people of Israel hereafter.
