1 Samuel 14:28-31

28ThenH6030 oneH376 of the soldiersH5971 told himH559, “Your fatherH1 bound the troopsH5971H559 with a solemn oathH7650, sayingH7650, ‘Cursed isH779 the manH376 whoH834 eatsH398 foodH3899 todayH3117.’ That is why the peopleH5971 are faintH5888.”

29“My fatherH1 has brought troubleH5916 to the landH776,” JonathanH3129 repliedH559. “Just lookH7200H4994 at howH3588 my eyesH5869 have brightenedH215 becauseH3588 I tastedH2938 a littleH4592 of thisH2088 honeyH1706. 30How much better it would have beenH637H3588 ifH3863 the troopsH5971 had eaten freelyH398 todayH3117 from the plunderH7998 they tookH4672H3588 from their enemiesH341! Would notH6258H3808 the slaughterH4347 of the PhilistinesH6430 have been much greaterH7235?”

31ThatH1931 dayH3117, after the Israelites had struck downH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 from MichmashH4363 to AijalonH357, the peopleH5971 were veryH3966 faintH5888.
