• 1 Sam 14:28-42 : 28 Then one of the men said, 'Your father solemnly charged the people, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’ That is why the people are faint.' 29 Jonathan said, 'My father has brought trouble to the land. See how my eyes have brightened because I tasted just a little of this honey.' 30 How much better it would have been if the men had eaten freely today from the plunder they took from their enemies. Would not the defeat of the Philistines have been even greater? 31 That day they struck down the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, but the troops were very exhausted. 32 They pounced on the plunder and took sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them on the ground and ate them, along with the blood. 33 Someone reported to Saul, 'Look, the troops are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with blood in it.' Saul said, 'You have broken faith. Roll a large stone over here to me at once.' 34 Then he said, 'Go among the men and tell them, ‘Each of you bring me your ox and sheep, and slaughter them here and eat. Do not sin against the Lord by eating meat with blood in it.’' That night, everyone brought their oxen and slaughtered them there. 35 Then Saul built an altar to the Lord; it was the first time he had built an altar to the Lord. 36 Saul said, 'Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until dawn. Let us not leave one of them alive.' They replied, 'Do whatever seems best to you.' But the priest said, 'Let us inquire of God here.' 37 Saul inquired of God, 'Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?' But He did not answer him that day. 38 Then Saul said, 'Come here, all you chiefs of the people. Investigate and find out what sin has been committed today. 39 As surely as the Lord, who saves Israel, lives—even if it is my son Jonathan—he must die.' But no one among the people said a word. 40 Then Saul said to all Israel, 'You stand on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will stand on the other.' And the people said to Saul, 'Do whatever seems right to you.' 41 Then Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel: 'Give a perfect lot.' Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the people were cleared. 42 Saul said, 'Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.' And Jonathan was taken.
