1 Samuel 14:28-30

Common English Bible

²⁸ Then one of the soldiers spoke up: “Your father bound the troops by a solemn pledge: ‘Anyone who eats food today is doomed.’ That’s why the troops are exhausted.”

²⁹ Jonathan said, “My father has brought trouble to the land. Look how my eyes lit up when I tasted just a bit of that honey! ³⁰ It would have been even better if the troops had eaten some of their enemies’ plunder today when they found it! But now the Philistine defeat isn’t as thorough as it might have been.”
