1 Samuel 14:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:32

And the people flew upon the spoil
Like a swift and ravenous bird, as the eagle, and which seems to have its name in Greek from this word, see ( Isaiah 46:11 ) . When the evening was come, and they were free from the oath of Saul, and being extremely hungry, faint, and weary, they were even ravenous for food and with the greatest haste and eagerness laid hold on what came first to hand:

and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground;
and there they lay in their blood, which in such a position would not run out freely as when slain and hang up:

and the people did eat them with the blood;
they were so hungry they could not stay the dressing of them, but ate them raw with the blood in them, not being squeezed or drained out, at least not half boiled or roasted. Some of the Jewish Rabbins F1 are of opinion

1 Samuel 14:32 In-Context

30 驴Cu谩nto m谩s si el pueblo hubiera hoy comido del despojo de sus enemigos que hall贸? 驴No se habr铆a hecho ahora mayor estrago en los filisteos?
31 E hirieron aquel d铆a a los filisteos desde Micmas hasta Ajal贸n; mas el pueblo se cans贸 mucho.
32 Se lanz贸, por tanto, el pueblo al despojo, y tomaron ovejas y vacas y becerros, y los mataron en tierra, y el pueblo comi贸 con sangre.
33 Y dieron aviso de ello a Sa煤l, diciendo: El pueblo peca contra el SE脩OR comiendo con sangre. Y 茅l dijo: Vosotros hab茅is prevaricado; rodadme ahora ac谩 una gran piedra.
34 Y Sa煤l volvi贸 a decir: Esparc铆os por el pueblo, y decidles que me traigan cada uno su vaca, y cada cual su oveja, y degolladlos aqu铆, y comed; y no pecar茅is contra el SE脩OR comiendo con sangre. Y trajo todo el pueblo cada cual por su mano su vaca aquella noche, y las degollaron all铆.
