1 Samuel 14:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ When the men entered the wood, behold, the honey was dripping, but no man tasted it, for the men feared the oath.

²⁷ But Jonathan had not heard when his father charged the people with the oath. So he dipped the end of the rod in his hand into a honeycomb and put it to his mouth, and his [weary] eyes brightened.

²⁸ Then one of the men told him, Your father strictly charged the men with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food today. And the people were exhausted and faint.
