1 Samuel 14:31-35

« 1 Sam 131 Sam 141 Sam 15 »

31 Then they struck among the Philistines that day from ^aMichmash to ^bAijalon. And the people were very weary. 32 ^aSo the people ¹rushed greedily upon the spoil, and they took sheep and oxen and calves and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate them ^bwith the blood. 33 Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are ^asinning against Yahweh by eating with the blood.” And he said, “You have acted treacherously; roll a great stone to me today.” 34 And Saul said, “Scatter yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter it here and eat; and do not sin against Yahweh by eating with the blood.’” So all the people that night brought each one his ox ¹with him and slaughtered it there. 35 And ^aSaul built an altar to Yahweh; it was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
