29 And Jonathan said: 'My father has troubled the land. You have seen for yourselves that my eyes were brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
30 How much more so, if the people had eaten from the plunder that they find with their enemies? Would not a greater slaughter have been accomplished among the Philistines?'
31 Therefore, on that day, they struck down the Philistines, from Michmash as far as Aijalon. But the people were exceedingly wearied.
32 And turning to the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and they slew them on the ground. And the people ate with blood.
33 Then they reported to Saul, saying that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with blood. And he said: 'You have transgressed. Roll a great stone to me, here and now.'
