1 Samuel 14:28-42
English Standard Version
28 Then one of the people said, “Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food this day.’” And the people were (A)faint. 29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. See how my eyes have become bright because I tasted a little of this honey. 30 How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies that they found. For now the defeat among the Philistines has not been great.”
31 They struck down the Philistines that day from (B)Michmash to (C)Aijalon. And the people were very (D)faint. 32 The people (E)pounced on the spoil and took sheep and oxen and calves and slaughtered them on the ground. And the people ate them (F)with the blood. 33 Then they told Saul, “Behold, the people are sinning against the Lord by eating (G)with the blood.” And he said, “You have dealt treacherously; roll a great stone to me here.”[a] 34 And Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Let every man bring his ox or his sheep and slaughter them here and eat, and do not sin against the Lord by eating with the blood.’” So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night and they slaughtered them there. 35 And Saul (H)built an altar to the Lord; it was the first altar that he built to the Lord.
36 Then Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until the morning light; let us not leave a man of them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” But (I)the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.” 37 And Saul inquired of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” (J)But he did not answer him that day. 38 And Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people, and know and see how this sin has arisen today. 39 For (K)as the Lord lives who saves Israel, (L)though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him. 40 Then he said to all Israel, “You shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.” 41 Therefore Saul said, “O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this guilt is in your people Israel, give Thummim.”[b] (M)And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped. 42 Then Saul said, (N)“Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was taken.

(D)Only do not rebel against the Lord or make us as rebels by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God. 20 (E)Did not Achan the son of Zerah break faith in the matter of the devoted things, and (F)wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And he did not perish alone for his iniquity.’”
