⁴¹ Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, Show the right. Jonathan and Saul were taken [by lot]; but the people escaped.

⁴² Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. Jonathan was taken.

⁵ Thus were they divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

¹ The princes of the people lived in Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the [other] cities.

³³ The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from Yahweh.

⁷ They all said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

²⁶ They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
