Notes

1 Samuel 14:37–38

God did not answer: Neither the "no" nor the "yes" answer from the Urim and Thummim appeared.

1 Samuel 14:1–52

Saul's actions in this chapter further support his removal as king (1 Samuel 13:8–14; see also 15). Saul was estranged from both Samuel and his brave son Jonathan. 1 Samuel 14 foreshadows Jonathan's important role in the shift from Saul's rule to David's.
