And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

Verse 34 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.

Und Saul sprach weiter: Zerstreut euch unter das Volk und sagt ihnen, daß ein jeglicher seinen Ochsen und sein Schaf zu mir bringe, und schlachtet allhier, daß ihr esset und euch nicht versündigt an dem HERRN mit dem Blutessen. Da brachte alles Volk ein jeglicher seinen Ochsen mit seiner Hand herzu des Nachts und schlachtete daselbst.
Y Saúl tornó 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 Jehová comiendo con sangre. Y trajo todo el pueblo cada cual por su mano su vaca aquella noche, y degollaron allí.
Saúl añadió: «Dispérsense entre el pueblo y díganles: “Que cada uno me traiga su toro o su oveja. Degüéllenlos aquí y coman. No pequen contra Jehová comiendo carne con la sangre”». Aquella noche todos trajeron cada uno su toro y los degollaron allí.
Puis il ajouta: Répandez-vous parmi le peuple, et dites à chacun de m'amener son boeuf ou sa brebis, et de l'égorger ici. Vous mangerez ensuite, et vous ne pécherez point contre l'Eternel, en mangeant avec le sang. Et pendant la nuit, chacun parmi le peuple amena son boeuf à la main, afin de l'égorger sur la pierre.
Poi Saulle disse: Andate qua e là fra il popolo, e dite loro che ciascuno meni qua appresso di me il suo bue, e la sua pecora; e qui li scannerete, e mangerete, e non peccherete contro al Signore, mangiandoli col sangue. E ciascuno del popolo menò quella notte il suo bue con la mano, e lo scannò quivi.
Disse mais Saul: Dispersai-vos entre o povo, e dizei-lhes: Trazei-me cada um o seu boi, e cada um a sua ovelha, e degolai-os aqui, e comei, e não pequeis contra o SENHOR, comendo com sangue. Então todo o povo trouxe de noite, cada um pela sua mão, o seu boi, e os degolaram ali.
掃羅 又說:「你們分散到百姓中,對他們說,你們各人把牛羊牽到我這裏來宰了吃,不可吃帶血的肉得罪耶和華。」那夜,所有的百姓把自己手中的牛 牽到那裏宰了。
