BRAGADAYJAH
849
Now
then, Jonathon having told the people to eat of the honey, the people did get
strength to fight; but having vanquished the Philistines, they went on to seize
further booty, the spoils of war, of sheep, and oxen and calves, and slew them
and ate them with the blood, which of course God had forbidden them to do. And
so it was told to Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord in that they
ate flesh with the blood, whereupon Saul said, “You have transgressed, roll a
great stone unto me this day. And disperse yourselves among the people and say
unto them, bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay
them here and eat, that you sin not against the Lord, and eat with the blood.”
And the people brought their sheep and oxen and slew them in the presence of
Saul. And Saul built an altar there being the first altar he built unto the
Lord.
