1 Samuel 14:31-33

Good News Translation

³¹ That day the Israelites defeated the Philistines, fighting all the way from Michmash to Aijalon. By this time the Israelites were very weak from hunger, ³² and so they rushed over to what they had captured from the enemy, took sheep and cattle, slaughtered them on the spot, and ate the meat with the blood still in it. ^33 (A)Saul was told, “Look, the people are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood in it.”

“You are traitors!” Saul cried out. “Roll a big stone over here^[a] to me.”
