1 Samuel 14:41

Jonathan and Saul were selected, and the troops were cleared of the charge.
NLT Then Saul prayed, 'O Lord, God of Israel, please show us who is guilty and who is innocent. ' Then they cast sacred lots, and Jonathan and Saul were chosen as the guilty ones, and the people were declared innocent.
