1 Samuel 14:31-35

Jonathan’s Victory

³¹They attacked the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. But the people were very tired. ³²So the people loudly rushed upon the spoils, and took sheep, oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood. ³³Then observers informed Saul, saying, “Look, the people are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.” And he said, “You have acted treacherously; roll a large rock to me today.” ³⁴Then Saul said, “Disperse 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 the Lord by eating it with the blood.’ ” So all the people brought them that night, each one his ox with him, and they slaughtered them there. ³⁵And Saul built an altar to the Lord; it was the first altar that he built to the Lord.
