1 Samuel 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.

40 Les dijo entonces a todos los israelitas:—Pónganse ustedes de un lado, y yo y mi hijo Jonatán nos pondremos del otro.—Haga lo que le parezca —respondieron ellos.
41 Luego le rogó Saúl al SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que le diera una respuesta clara. La suerte cayó sobre Jonatán y Saúl, de modo que los demás quedaron libres.
42 Entonces dijo Saúl:—Echen suertes entre mi hijo Jonatán y yo.Y la suerte cayó sobre Jonatán,
43 así que Saúl le dijo:—Cuéntame lo que has hecho.—Es verdad que probé un poco de miel con la punta de mi vara —respondió Jonatán—. ¿Y por eso tengo que morir?
44 —Jonatán, si tú no mueres, ¡que Dios me castigue sin piedad! —exclamó Saúl.
