1 Samuel 14:24-26

Modern English Version

Saul’s Rash Oath

²⁴ Now Israel’s fighting men were distressed that day. For Saul had placed the people under a curse, saying, “Cursed is the man that eats any food before it is evening, and I have been avenged on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted any food.

²⁵ All the people of the land came to the forest, and there was honey on the ground. ²⁶ When the people came into the forest there was flowing honey. But no man put his hand to his mouth, because the people feared the oath.
