Whose idea was it to ask the Urim v'Tumim?

Ramban (Vayikra 19:26): People were displeased that Sha'ul would not do anything without asking from the Urim v'Tumim 1 . (This implies that he decided to ask. 2 - PF)

Refer to 14:32:6:3*.

Our verse implies that the Kohen said that they should ask! Perhaps the verse is abbreviated. Sha'ul said to bring the Urim v'Tumim; the Kohen said, it is proper that we go to it. Or, the people meant that Sha'ul heeds those who say to ask the Urim v'Tumim first. (PF)
