See, my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey. 30 How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great." 31 They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people were very faint. 32 The people rushed on the spoil, took sheep, oxen, and calves, slaughtered them on the ground, and the people ate them with the blood. 33 Then they told Saul, "Look, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood." He said, "You have transgressed; roll a large stone to me today." 34 Then Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, 'Bring every man his ox and every man his sheep, and slaughter them here, and eat, and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'" So all the people brought every man his ox with him that night and slaughtered them there. 35 Saul built an altar to the LORD; it was the first altar that he built to the LORD. 36 Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man among them."

Will You deliver them into the hand of Israel?"

But not one of all the people answered him. 40 He said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." The people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you." 41 Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, "Give a perfect lot." And Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people escaped. 42 Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son," and Jonathan was taken.
