1 Samuel 14:24-28

24Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had 1put the people under oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food 2before evening, and before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

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

26When the people entered the forest, behold, 3there was honey dripping; but no man put his hand to his mouth, because the people feared the oath.

27However, Jonathan had not heard it when his father put the people under oath; so 4he 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 5his eyes 6brightened.

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