1 Samuel14:41

41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot . And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped .

Or, declare (for giving, is oft put for declaring, or pronouncing, as Deut. 11. 29. and 13. 1, 2. Prov. 9. 9.) the perfect, or guiltless person. i. e. O Lord, so guide the Lot, that it may discover who is Guilty in this Matter, and that it may clear the Innocent.

To wit, the Danger; they were pronounced Guiltless.

Marginal references: Heb. Give Th[illegible: 1+ letters]mmim. Deut. 33. 8.; Or, shew the innocent.; Heb. [illegible: 1 word] forth.
