Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.

Verse 33 is found in chapter 14 of 1 Samuel. Saul imposes an oath forbidding the army from eating during the battle. The decision does not strengthen the victory, but instead weakens the soldiers and produces extreme hunger. Jonathan, unaware of the oath, eats honey and recognizes that the prohibition has harmed the army. Later, the people consume meat with blood, violating a known regulation. The episode shows how impulsive leadership decisions can generate new transgressions and complicate a victory initially granted by God.

Da verkündete man Saul: Siehe, das Volk versündigt sich am HERRN, daß es Blut ißt. Er sprach: Ihr habt übel getan; wälzt her zu mir jetzt einen großen Stein.
Y dándole de ello aviso a Saúl, dijéronle: El pueblo peca contra Jehová comiendo con sangre. Y él dijo: Vosotros habéis prevaricado; rodadme ahora acá una grande piedra.
Le informaron a Saúl: «El pueblo está pecando contra Jehová al comer carne con la sangre». Él dijo: «Han sido infieles. Hagan rodar ahora una piedra grande hasta aquí».
On le rapporta à Saül, et l'on dit: Voici, le peuple pèche contre l'Eternel, en mangeant avec le sang. Saül dit: Vous commettez une infidélité; roulez à l'instant vers moi une grande pierre.
E ciò fu rapportato a Saulle, e gli fu detto: Ecco, il popolo pecca contro al Signore, mangiando le carni col sangue. Ed egli disse: Voi avete misfatto; rotolate ora qua appresso di me una gran pietra.
E o anunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que o povo peca contra o SENHOR, comendo com sangue. E disse: Aleivosamente procedestes; trazei-me aqui já uma grande pedra.
