1 Samuel 14:33

14:33 Now it was reported to Saul, “Look, the army is sinning against the Lord by eating even the blood.” He said, “All of you have broken the covenant! ¹  Roll a large stone over here to me.”

1 Samuel 25:31

25:31 Your conscience will not be overwhelmed with guilt ²  for having poured out innocent blood and for having taken matters into your own hands. When the Lord has granted my lord success, ³  please remember your servant.”

¹ tn Heb “You have acted deceptively.” In this context the verb refers to violating an agreement, in this case the dietary and sacrificial regulations of the Mosaic law. The verb form is second masculine plural; apparently Saul here addresses those who are eating the animals.

² tn Heb “and this will not be for you for staggering and for stumbling of the heart of my lord.”

³ tn Heb “and the Lord will do well for my lord.”
