1 Samuel 14:24-28
24Now the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were hard-pressedH5065 on that dayH3117, for SaulH7586 had 1putH422 the peopleH5971 underH422 oathH422, sayingH559, “CursedH779 be the manH376 whoH834 eatsH398 foodH3899 2beforeH5704 eveningH6153, and untilH5704 I have avengedH5358 myself on my enemiesH340.” So noneH3808H3605 of the peopleH5971 tastedH2938 foodH3899.
25AllH3605 the people of the landH776 enteredH935 the forestH3293, and there was honeyH1706 on the groundH6440H7704.
26When the peopleH5971 enteredH935 the forestH3293, beholdH2009, 3there was a flowH1982 of honeyH1706; but noH369 man putH5381 his handH3027 to his mouthH6310, for the peopleH5971 fearedH3372 the oathH7621.
27But JonathanH3083 had not heardH8085 when his fatherH1 putH7650 the peopleH5971 underH7650 oathH7650; therefore, 4he putH7971 out the endH7097 of the staffH4294 that was in his handH3027 and dippedH2881 it in the honeycombH3295H1706, and putH7725 his handH3027 to his mouthH6310, and 5his eyesH5869 brightenedH215.
28Then oneH376 of the peopleH5971 saidH559, “Your fatherH1 strictlyH7650 putH7650 the peopleH5971 underH7650 oathH7650, sayingH559, ‘CursedH779 be the manH376 whoH834 eatsH398 foodH3899 todayH3117.’” And the peopleH5971 were wearyH5888.
