SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:32
Se lanzó, por tanto, el pueblo al despojo, y tomaron ovejas y vacas y becerros, y los mataron en tierra, y el pueblo comió con sangre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:32
Verse 32. The people did eat them with the blood.] They were faint through hunger, and did not take time to bleed the cattle on which they fed. This was another bad effect of Saul's rash adjuration.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. And the people flew upon the spoil , etc.] 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 are of opinion Ver. 33 . Then they told Saul , etc.] Some that were more conscientious and religious, were more circumspect, and strictly attended to the laws forbidding the eating of blood, and were concerned at the indecent behaviour of others, and therefore thought fit to acquaint Saul with it, to restrain it: behold, the people sin against the Lord, in that they eat with the blood ; by breaking the laws of God respecting the eating of blood in ( Genesis 9:4 Leviticus 3:17 7:26,27 17:10,11), especially in ( Leviticus 19:26) and he said, ye have transgressed ; the above laws of God; that is, Saul said to some persons who were accused of the breach of them, and were ordered to come before him, and did come: roll a great stone unto me this day ; pointing, perhaps, at one which lay at some distance from him, and which he ordered to be rolled to him; this was done, that the creatures might be slain on it, and their blood drawn out from them, or to offer sacrifice upon, and indeed for both.
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.
