1 Samuel 14:32-34

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³² they rushed to the plunder,^(A) took sheep, cattle, and calves, slaughtered them on the ground, and ate meat with the blood still in it. ³³ Some reported to Saul: “Look, the troops are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood still in it.”^(B)

Saul said, “You have been unfaithful. Roll a large stone over here at once.” ³⁴ He then said, “Go among the troops and say to them, ‘Each man must bring me his ox or his sheep. Do the slaughtering here and then you can eat. Don’t sin against the Lord by eating meat with the blood in it.’” So every one of the troops brought his ox that night and slaughtered it there.
