1 Kings 14:41
And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant today. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et dixit Saul ad Dominum Deum Israël : Domine Deus Israël, da indicium : quid est quod non responderis servo tuo hodie ? si in me, aut in Jonatha filio meo, est iniquitas hæc, da ostensionem : aut si hæc iniquitas est in populo tuo, da sanctitatem. Et deprehensus est Jonathas et Saul : populus autem exivit.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶπεν Σαούλ Κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, τί ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθης τῷ δούλῳ σου σήμερον; ἢ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἢ ἐν Ἰωναθὰν τῷ υἱῷ μου ἡ ἀδικία; Κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, δὸς δήλους· καὶ ἐὰν τάδε εἴπῃ, δὸς δὴ τῷ λαῷ σου Ἰσραήλ, δὸς δὴ ὁσιότητα. καὶ κληροῦται Ἰωναθὰν καὶ Σαούλ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐξῆλθεν.

Haydock's commentary
A sign, (judicium;) "pass sentence;" declare why, &c. (Haydock)
Hebrew, "give purity." Shew who is innocent. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "give the proofs" by the Thummim, which they seem to have read. (Calmet)
