1 Samuel 14:42

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

Cross-reference

Joshua 7:18 Parallel

Joshua 7:18 uses lots to identify Achan as guilty — identical scenario of exposing sin by lot.

Proverbs 16:33 declares every lot decision is from the Lord — direct theological principle validating the outcome of this lot.

Proverbs 18:18 says casting lots settles disputes — exactly what this lot does between Saul and Jonathan.

Jonah 1:7 Parallel

In Jonah 1:7, the sailors cast lots to identify the one responsible for the storm, just as Saul here casts lots to find the guilty party.

Acts 1:26 Parallel

In Acts 1:26, lots are cast to choose Matthias as an apostle—a similar practice but for selection rather than judgment.
