Therefore: Both the Septuagint and Vulgate add much to this verse:
Και ειπε Σαουλ:, Κυριε ο Θεος Ισραηλ:, τι οτι ουκ απεκριθης τω δουλω σου σημερον:; ει εν εμοι η εν Ιωναθαν τω υιω μου η αδικια:, Κυριε ο Θεος Ισραηλ δος δηλους και εαν ταδε ειπη:, δος δη τω λαω σου Ισραηλ:, δος δη οσιοτητα:, κ.τ.λ.:
Et dixit Saul ad Dominum Deum Israel; Domine Deus Israel da indicium: quid est quod non responderis servo tuo hodie? Si in me, aut in Jonatha filio meo est iniquitas hec, da ostensionem. Aut si hec iniquitas est in populo tuo, da sanctitatem, etc:.
"And Saul said (to the Lord God of Israel, Vulg.) Lord God of Israel (give a sign, Vulg.). Why is it that thou has not answered thy servant today? If the iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, (O Lord God of Israel, LXX) make it manifest; and if thou say thus, give to thy people Israel, give mercy," etc., (but Vulg. Or, if this iniquity be in thy people, give sanctification," etc.)
Give a perfect lot: or, Shew the innocent, Proverbs 16:33; Acts 1:24
And Saul: 1 Samuel 10:20-21; Joshua 7:16-18; Jonah 1:7
escaped: Heb. went forth
