And all the people brought euery man his oxe with him that night, and slew them there. 35And Saul built an altar vnto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built vnto the Lord. 36¶ And Saul saide, Let vs goe downe after the Philistines by night, and spoile them vntil the morning light, and let vs not leaue a man of them.

Wilt thou deliuer them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day. 38And Saul said, Draw yee neere hither all the chiefe of the people: and know and see, wherein this sinne hath beene this day.
