Contextual Overview
36 Then Saul said, "Let us go down to the Philistines during the night and take until morning what belongs to them. Let us not leave a man of them alive." They said, "Do whatever you think is best." So the religious leader said, "Let us ask of God here." 37 So Saul asked God, "Should I go down to the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?" But God did not answer him that day. 38 Saul said, "Come here, all you leaders of the people. Look and see how this sin has happened today. 39 For as the Lord lives Who saves Israel, even if it is in Jonathan my son, he will die for sure." But not one of all the people answered him. 40 Then Saul said to all Israel, "You will be on one side and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side." And the people said to Saul, "Do what you think is best." 41 So Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, "May the right name be drawn." And the names of Saul and Jonathan were drawn, and the people went free. 42 Then Saul said, "Draw names between me and my son Jonathan." And Jonathan's name was drawn. 43 Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." So Jonathan told him, "I tasted a little honey with the end of the stick that was in my hand. Here I am. I must die." 44 Saul said, "May God do this to me and more also, for you will die for sure, Jonathan." 45 But the people said to Saul, "Must Jonathan die, who has saved all these people of Israel? Far from it! As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head will fall to the ground. For he has worked with God this day." So the people saved Jonathan and he did not die.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Saul said, draw ye near hither all the chief of the people,.... Or, the corners of the peoples g; the princes, as Jarchi interprets it: and so the Targum, the heads of the people, in allusion to the cornerstones in buildings, which are the ornament, strength, and cement of them, see Zechariah 10:4, though Abarbinel thinks the tribes themselves are meant, which lay encamped everyone in a corner by themselves, separated from one another; and these he would have brought together; not the heads only, but everyone, small and great, that it might be seen and known where the sin lay; but he should have observed, that the tribes of Israel were not now present with Saul, but a small number of them:
and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day; he concluded, from having no answer from the Lord, that sin had been committed, which was the cause of it; but never thought of his own rash oath, which was the cause of the people's sinning, and had brought his son into danger; nor the sin of the people in eating the flesh with the blood; nothing ran in his mind but the breach of the oath with which he had adjured the people, and this he was determined to find out, if possible.
