## 1 Samuel 14:33-37 in Context (Verses 30–40 KJV)
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/30) How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
 
 [31 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/31) And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/32) And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew *them* on the ground: and the people did eat *them* with the blood.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/33) ¶ Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.*
 
 [34 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/34) And Saul said, 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; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew *them* there.*
 
 [35 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/35) And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.*
 
 [36 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/36) ¶ And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/37) And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/38) And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.*
 
 [39 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/39) For, *as* the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But *there was* not a man among all the people *that* answered him.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/1-samuel/14/40) Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
