1 Samuele 14:42 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:42

And Saul said, cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son,
&c.]. Which showed his regard strict justice, and that he had no consciousness of guilt in himself, and should not spare his own son if found guilty:

and Jonathan was taken:
the lot fell upon him, which was so directed, that his ignorance of his father's charge and oath might appear; and that the affection of the people might be discovered; and that a regard is to be had to the orders and commands of princes, and obedience to be yielded to them in all in which conscience is not concerned, though they may be grievous; and to bring Saul to a sense of rashness in making such an oath, which brought his own son into so much danger.

1 Samuele 14:42 In-Context

40 Poi disse a tutto Israele: Voi, state da un lato, ed io e Gionatan, mio figliuolo, staremo dall’altro. E il popolo disse a Saulle: Fa’ ciò che ti piace.
41 E Saulle disse al Signore Iddio d’Israele: Mostra chi è innocente. E Gionatan e Saulle furono presi; e il popolo scampò.
42 Poi Saulle disse: Traete la sorte fra me a Gionatan, mio figliuolo. E Gionatan fu preso.
43 Allora Saulle disse a Gionatan: Dichiarami ciò che tu hai fatto. E Gionatan gliel dichiarò, e disse: Io di vero ho assaggiato con la cima della bacchetta ch’io avea nella mano, un poco di miele; eccomi, ho io da morire?
44 E Saulle disse: Così mi faccia Iddio, e così mi aggiunga, Gionatan, se tu del tutto non muori.
