Then someone from the army informed him,“ Your father put the army under a strict oath saying,‘ Cursed be the man who eats food today!’ That is why the army is tired.”Then Jonathan said,“ My father has caused trouble for the land. See how my eyes gleamed when I tasted just a little of this honey.Certainly if the army had eaten some of the enemies’ provisions that they came across today, would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been even greater?”On that day the army struck down the Philistines from Micmash to Aijalon, and they became very tired.So the army rushed greedily on the plunder, confiscating sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them right on the ground, and the army ate them blood and all.Now it was reported to Saul,“ Look, the army is sinning against the LORD by eating even the blood.” He said,“ All of you have broken the covenant! Roll a large stone over here to me.”Then Saul said,“ Scatter out among the army and say to them,‘ Each of you bring to me your ox and sheep and slaughter them in this spot and eat. But don’t sin against the LORD by eating the blood.” So that night each one brought his ox and slaughtered it there.Then Saul built an altar for the LORD; it was the first time he had built an altar for the LORD.Saul said,“ Let’s go down after the Philistines at night; we will rout them until the break of day. We won’t leave any of them alive!” They replied,“ Do whatever seems best to you.” But the priest said,“ Let’s approach God here.”So Saul asked God,“ Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he did not answer him that day.Then Saul said,“ All you leaders of the army come here. Find out how this sin occurred today.For as surely as the LORD, the deliverer of Israel, lives, even if it turns out to be my own son Jonathan, he will certainly die!” But no one from the army said anything.Then he said to all Israel,“ You will be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side.” The army replied to Saul,“ Do whatever you think is best.”Then Saul said,“ O LORD God of Israel! If this sin has been committed by me or by my son Jonathan, then, O LORD God of Israel, respond with Urim. But if this sin has been committed by your people Israel, respond with Thummim.” Then Jonathan and Saul were indicated by lot, while the army was exonerated.Then Saul said,“ Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan!” Jonathan was indicated by lot.

Joshua 22:18-20
Now today you dare to turn back from following the LORD! You are rebelling today against the LORD; tomorrow he may break out in anger against the entire community of Israel.But if your own land is impure, cross over to the LORD’s own land, where the LORD himself lives, and settle down among us. But don’t rebel against the LORD or us by building for yourselves an altar aside from the altar of the LORD our God.When Achan son of Zerah disobeyed the command about the city’s riches, the entire Israelite community was judged, though only one man had sinned. He most certainly died for his sin!’”
