1 Samuel 14:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ And the people came into the forest. And behold, the honey dropped. And no man moved his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

²⁷ But Jonathan did not hear when his father charged the people with the oath. Therefore, he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb and put his hand to his mouth. And his eyes were made clear.

²⁸ Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father made the people swear, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats sustenance this day.” And the people were weary.
