1 Samuel 14:25-29

25All the people of the land entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.

26When the people entered the forest, behold, 1there was a flow of honey; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

27But Jonathan had not heard when his father put the people under oath; therefore, 2he put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and 3his eyes brightened.

28Then one of the people said, “Your father strictly put the people under oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today.’” And the people were weary.

29Then Jonathan said, “4My father has troubled the land. See now, how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
