21 And it is before El·e·aʹzar the priest that he will stand, and he must inquire+ in his behalf by the judgment of the Uʹrim+ before Jehovah. At his order they will go out and at his order they will come in, he and all the sons of Israel with him and all the assembly.”

1 And after the death+ of Joshua it came about that the sons of Israel proceeded to inquire+ of Jehovah, saying: “Who of us will go up first to the Caʹnaan·ites to fight against them?”

6 Although Saul would inquire of Jehovah,+ Jehovah never answered him,+ either by dreams+ or by the Uʹrim+ or by the prophets.+

8 And David began to inquire of Jehovah,+ saying: “Shall I chase after this marauder band? Shall I overtake them?” At this he said+ to him: “Go in chase, for you will without fail overtake them, and you will without fail make a deliverance.”+
