1 Samuel 14:35-37

Common English Bible

³⁵ And Saul built an altar to the Lord. It was the first altar he had built to the Lord.

³⁶ “Let’s go after the Philistines tonight and plunder them until morning,” Saul said. “We won’t leave them a single survivor!”

“Do whatever you think is best,” the troops replied.

But the priest said, “Let’s ask God first.”

³⁷ So Saul questioned God: “Should I go after the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel?” But God did not answer him that day.
