Slaughter
In Genesis 14:17, this signifies the liberation and vindication of the apparent good and truth represented by Abram here. (Arcana Coelestia 1722)
In Zechariah 11:4, this signifies people who are in good but led astray by falsities of doctrine. (Apocalypse Explained 315[11])
In Isaiah 30:25, this signifies the Last Judgment when the wicked perish spiritually. (Apocalypse Explained 315[15])
'Slaughter' signifies perdition and damnation. 'Slaughter' and 'a storm of slaughter,' signifies evils which destroy the goods of the church. 'The day of great slaughter' stands for the last judgment.

Eat
When we eat, our bodies break down the food and get from it both energy and materials for building and repairing the body. The process is similar on a symbolic level in the Bible. Food represents the desire for good and the insight that comes from that desire for good – goodness and understanding that come from the Lord. But to put them to use we have to take them in and make them our own – which is spiritual eating.
