1 Samuel 14:24-26

Good News Translation

Events after the Battle

²⁴ The Israelites were weak with hunger that day, because Saul, with a solemn oath, had given the order: “A curse be on anyone who eats any food today before I take revenge on my enemies.” So nobody had eaten anything all day. ²⁵ They all^[a] came into a wooded area and found honey everywhere. ²⁶ The woods were full of honey, but no one ate any of it because they were all afraid of Saul's curse.
