And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest-chamber, and made them sit in the chief place among those who were bidden, who were about thirty men.

And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

And Saul cast the spear, for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David turned away from his presence twice.

And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him. By this Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death.
