1 Samuel 14:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Then one of the people responded: “Your father strictly ordered the army to take an oath. That’s why he said, ‘Cursed is the person who eats food today,’ and so the army is exhausted.”

²⁹ Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. See how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey. ³⁰ How much better if the army had eaten freely today of their enemy’s spoil that they found, because the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great.”
