And the people [05971] flew [06213] [05860] upon the spoil [07998], and took [03947] sheep [06629], and oxen [01241], and calves [01121], and slew [07819] them on the ground [0776]: and the people [05971] did eat [0398] them with the blood [01818].

So David [01732] hid [05641] himself in the field [07704]: and when the new moon [02320] was come, the king [04428] sat him down [03427] to eat [0398] meat [03899].
So Jonathan [03083] arose [06965] from the table [07979] in fierce [02750] anger [0639], and did eat [0398] no meat [03899] the second [08145] day [03117] of the month [02320]: for he was grieved [06087] for David [01732], because his father [01] had done him shame [03637].

But he refused [03985], and said [0559], I will not eat [0398]. But his servants [05650], together with the woman [0802], compelled [06555] him; and he hearkened [08085] unto their voice [06963]. So he arose [06965] from the earth [0776], and sat [03427] upon the bed [04296].
And she brought [05066] it before [06440] Saul [07586], and before [06440] his servants [05650]; and they did eat [0398]. Then they rose up [06965], and went away [03212] that night [03915].

And when he had brought him down [03381], behold, they were spread abroad [05203] upon all [06440] the earth [0776], eating [0398] and drinking [08354], and dancing [02287], because of all the great [01419] spoil [07998] that they had taken [03947] out of the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], and out of the land [0776] of Judah [03063].
