1 Samuel 14:24-26

International Children’s Bible

Saul Makes Another Mistake

²⁴ The men of Israel were miserable that day. This was because Saul had made an oath for all of them. He had said, “No one should eat food before evening and before I finish defeating my enemies. If he does, he will be cursed!” So no Israelite soldier ate food.

²⁵ Now the army went into the woods. There was some honey on the ground. ²⁶ They came to where the honey was. But no one took any because they were afraid of the oath.
