1 Samuel 14:32-34
1599 Geneva Bible
32 So the people turned to the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves and slew them on the ground, and the people did eat them (A)with the blood.
33 Then men told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the Lord, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have trespassed: [a]roll a great stone unto me this day.
34 Again Saul said, Go abroad among the people, and bid them bring me every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat, and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And the people brought every man his ox in his hand that night, and slew them there.

1 Samuel 14:32-34
New International Version
32 They pounced on the plunder(A) and, taking sheep, cattle and calves, they butchered them on the ground and ate them, together with the blood.(B) 33 Then someone said to Saul, “Look, the men are sinning against the Lord by eating meat that has blood(C) in it.”
“You have broken faith,” he said. “Roll a large stone over here at once.” 34 Then he said, “Go out among the men and tell them, ‘Each of you bring me your cattle and sheep, and slaughter them here and eat them. Do not sin against the Lord by eating meat with blood still(D) in it.’”
So everyone brought his ox that night and slaughtered it there.
