1 Samuel 14:24-26

New American Standard Bible

Saul’s Foolish Order

²⁴ Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had ^(A)put the people under oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food ^[a]before evening, and before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food. ²⁵ All the people of the land entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground. ²⁶ When the people entered the forest, behold, ^(B)there was honey dripping; but no man put his hand to his mouth, because the people feared the oath.
