SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:34
Y Saúl volvió a decir: Esparcíos por el pueblo, y decidles que me traigan cada uno su vaca, y cada cual su oveja, y degolladlos aquí, y comed; y no pecaréis contra el SEÑOR comiendo con sangre. Y trajo todo el pueblo cada cual por su mano su vaca aquella noche, y las degollaron allí.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. And Saul said, disperse yourselves among the people , etc.] In the camp, some one way, and some another, and make proclamation throughout it; this he said to some of his officers, whom he sent out as heralds, to publish his will and pleasure: and say unto them, bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here ; on the great stone he had ordered to roll to the place where he was: and eat them ; in the same place, being rightly slain, and the blood let out; all this was to be done, the slaying of the beasts, and eating them, in the presence of Saul, and under his inspection, that every thing might be done decently, and in order, and according to the law of God: and sin not against the Lord, in eating with the blood ; as some of them had done, ( 1 Samuel 14:32) and all the people brought every man his ox with him; and his sheep also, though not expressed, yet to be supplied from the preceding clause: and these every man brought “with him that night”; the Jewish Rabbins are divided about these creatures slain, whether for sacrifices or common food; and those that think sacrifices are meant dispute whether it was lawful to slay them in the night, which some allow to be lawful, if on a small and private altar, but not upon a large and public one; but these were slain no doubt for common food, which all agree might be slain in the night: and slew them there ; before Saul, and on the great stone rolled unto him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-35 - Saul's severe order was very unwise; if it gained time, it los strength for the pursuit. Such is the nature of our bodies, that dail work cannot be done without daily bread, which therefore our Father in heaven graciously gives. Saul was turning aside from God, and now he begins to build altars, being then most zealous, as many are, for the form of godliness when he was denying the power of it.
