1 Samuel 14:24-26

24Now the Israelites were in distress that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath, saying, “Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the troops tasted food.

25The entire army entered the woods, and there was honey on the ground.

26When they went into the woods, they saw the honey oozing out; yet no one put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.
