So Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected by lot.

Then he brought near the tribe of Benjamin according to its families, and the family of Matri was selected by lot. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen, and they sought him, but he could not be found.

Then Saul said to Yahweh the God of Israel, "{Render a decision perfectly}." Jonathan and Saul were chosen [by lot] and the people went out.

Then Saul said, "Let them cast [the lot] between me and my son Jonathan," and Jonathan was chosen.
