1 Samuel 14:25-29

25The entire land had honeycombs, and there was honey on the ground.

26When the troops entered the woods, the honey was flowing. But no one put his hand to his mouth, because the troops were afraid of violating their oath.

27Jonathan hadn’t heard that his father forced the troops to take an oath. So he stretched out the tip of the staff he had in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he put it to his mouth, his eyes lit up.

28Then one of the soldiers told him, “Your father forced the troops to take a solemn oath: ‘Cursed is anyone who eats food today.’ ” Now, the army was exhausted.

29Jonathan answered, “My father has brought trouble to the country. See how my eyes lit up when I tasted a little of this honey?
