SCRIPTURE

"And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God." — 1 Samuel 14:36 (ASV)

Then said the priest... - Ahijah, with equal courage and faithfulness, worthy of his office as “the priest,” when everyone else yielded to Saul’s mood, proposed that they should draw near to God to inquire of Him. (Compare 1 Kings 22:7.)
