1 Samuel 14:32-35

32So the troops seized the Philistines’ belongings. They took sheep, cows, and calves, and butchered them on the ground. The troops ate the meat with blood still in it.

33Some ⌞soldiers⌟ told Saul, “The troops are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with blood in it.” Saul replied, “You have been unfaithful. Roll a large rock over to me now.”

34Then Saul said, “Spread out through the troops, and tell them, ‘Each of you, bring me your ox or your sheep, and butcher it here, and eat. But don’t sin against the Lord by eating meat with blood in it.’ ” So each of the soldiers brought his ox with him that night and butchered it there.

35Then Saul built an altar to the Lord; it was the first time he had built an altar to the Lord.
