Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Therefore: Both the Septuagint and Vulgate add much to this verse:

בי וינו בןץכ, ץסיו ן וןע ףסבחכ, פי ןפי ןץך בנוךסיטחע פש הןץכש ףןץ ףחלוסןם; וי ום ולןי ח ום שםבטבם פש ץיש לןץ ח בהיךיב, ץסיו ן וןע ףסבחכ הןע החכןץע ךבי ובם פבהו וינח, הןע הח פש כבש ףןץ ףסבחכ, הןע הח ןףיןפחפב, ך.פ.כ.

Et dixit Saul ad Dominum Deum Israel; Domine Deus Israel da indicium: quid est quod non responderis servo tuo hodie? Si in me, aut in Jonatha filio meo est iniquitas hec, da ostensionem. Aut si hec iniquitas est in populo tuo, da sanctitatem, etc.

"And Saul said (to the Lord God of Israel, Vulg.) Lord God of Israel (give a sign, Vulg.). Why is it that thou has not answered thy servant today? If the iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, (O Lord God of Israel, LXX) make it manifest; and if thou say thus, give to thy people Israel, give mercy," etc., (but Vulg. Or, if this iniquity be in thy people, give sanctification," etc.)

Give a perfect lot: or, Shew the innocent, Proverbs 16:33, Acts 1:24

And Saul: 1 Samuel 10:20, 1 Samuel 10:21, Joshua 7:16-18, Jonah 1:7

escaped: Heb. went forth

Reciprocal: Leviticus 16:8 - cast lots Joshua 18:8 - that I may here Judges 20:9 - by lot against it 1 Chronicles 25:8 - cast lots Acts 1:26 - they

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore Saul said to the Lord God of Israel,.... After the division was made between him and his son on one side, and the people of Israel on the other, and everything was ready for the drawing of the lot; Saul put up to God the following petition, as knowing that though the lot is cast into the lap, the disposing of it is of the Lord:

give a perfect lot; or man, let it fall upon the guilty person, and let the innocent go free; the Targum is,

"cause it to come in truth;''

let truth and righteousness take place; let the right man be found out, and taken; the petition seems to be too arrogant and presumptuous, and insinuates as if the Lord did not always dispose the lot aright:

and Saul and Jonathan were taken; the lot being cast, it fell upon them:

but the people escaped; from the lot, and appeared to be innocent, clear of any blame; so that it was not the sin they had been guilty of, in eating flesh with the blood, which was the cause that no answer was returned.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Give a perfect lot - The phrase is obscure, but the meaning is probably as in the margin.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 14:41. Lord God of Israel, Give a perfect lot.] Both the Vulgate and Septuagint add much to this verse: And Saul said to the Lord God of Israel, Lord God of Israel, give judgment. Why is it that thou hast not answered thy servant to-day? If the iniquity be in me, or Jonathan my son, make it manifest. Or if this iniquity be in thy people, give sanctification.
