1 Samuel14:35
1Sa 14:35
As a thanksgiving for this victory, Saul built an altar to the Lord. לבנות החל אתו, “he began to build it,” i.e., he built this altar at the beginning, or as the first altar. This altar was probably not intended to serve as a place of sacrifice, but simply to be a memorial of the presence of God, or the revelation of God which Saul had received in the marvellous victory.
