1 Samuel 14:31-35

Complete Jewish Bible

³¹ That day they had attacked the P’lishtim from Mikhmas to Ayalon; but the people were very exhausted. ³² So the people rushed at the spoil, seizing sheep, cows and calves, slaughtering them on the ground, and eating the flesh with the blood. ³³ Sha’ul was told, “Look how the people are sinning against Adonai, eating with the blood.” He said, “You have not kept faith! Roll a big stone to me immediately! ³⁴ Now,” Sha’ul said, “go around among the people and tell them, ‘Each of you is to bring his cow and his sheep and slaughter them here. Then eat. Don’t sin against Adonai by eating with the blood.” So each person brought his animal with him that evening and killed it there. ³⁵ Sha’ul erected an altar to Adonai; it was the first altar that he erected to Adonai.
