1 Samuel - 14:33 Meaning
“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.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
14:24-35 Saul's severe order was very unwise; if it gained time, it lost strength for the pursuit.

Saul was turning aside from God, and now he begins to build altars, being then most zealous, as many are, for the form of godliness when he was denying the power of it.
“Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?”
