Contextual Overview

²⁴ The men of Israel were miserable that day because Saul had made an oath for all of them. He had said, "No one should eat food before evening and before I finish defeating my enemies. If he does, he will be cursed!" So no Israelite soldier ate food. ²⁵ Now the army went into the woods, where there was some honey on the ground. ²⁶ They came upon some honey, but no one took any because they were afraid of the oath. ²⁷ Jonathan had not heard the oath Saul had put on the army, so he dipped the end of his stick into the honey and lifted some out and ate it. Then he felt better. ²⁸ Then one of the soldiers told Jonathan, "Your father made an oath for all the soldiers. He said any man who eats today will be cursed! That's why they are so weak." ²⁹ Jonathan said, "My father has made trouble for the land! See how much better I feel after just tasting a little of this honey! ³⁰ It would have been much better for the men to eat the food they took from their enemies today. We could have killed many more Philistines!" ³¹ That day the Israelites defeated the Philistines from Micmash to Aijalon. After that, they were very tired. ³² They had taken sheep, cattle, and calves from the Philistines. Now they were so hungry they killed the animals on the ground and ate them, without draining the blood from them! ³³ Someone said to Saul, "Look! The men are sinning against the Lord . They're eating meat without draining the blood from it!" Saul said, "You have sinned! Roll a large stone over here now!"

flew: 1 Samuel 15:19

the people: The people having abstained from food the whole of the day, and being now faint through hunger and fatigue, they flew upon the cattle, and not taking time to bleed them properly, they eagerly devoured the flesh with the blood, directly contrary to the law - another bad effect of Saul's rash adjuration.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 a are of opinion

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 14:32. 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.
