1Sa 14:39 For, [as] the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answered him. Ver. 39.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:41

1Sa 14:41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. Ver. 41. Give a perfect lot. ] Or, Show the innocent, as Tremelius rendereth it. Saul was so scrupulous, that he would not so much as name a guilty man, or sinner, but in casting of lots, instead of saying, Show the innocent or guilty, he said, Show the upright or innocent person.

And, lo, I must die. ] This he speaketh, saith Josephus, out of his constancy and contempt of death.
