Bible. Samuel, 1st
and came to the battle: and behold, every man's sword was
against his fellow, [and there was] a very great confusion.
014:021 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before,
and who went up with them into the camp, [from the country]
round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites
who were with Saul and Jonathan.
014:022 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill
country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled,
even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
014:023 So Yahweh saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over
by Beth Aven.
014:024 The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had
adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any
food until it be evening, and I be avenged on my enemies.
So none of the people tasted food.
014:025 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey
on the ground.
014:026 When the people were come to the forest, behold, the honey dropped:
but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people
feared the oath.
014:027 But Jonathan didn't hear when his father charged the people
with the oath: therefore he put forth the end of the rod
who was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put
his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
014:028 Then answered one of the people, and said, Your father directly
charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man
who eats food this day. The people were faint.
014:029 Then said Jonathan, My father has troubled the land.
Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I
tasted a little of this honey.
014:030 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today
of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now has
there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.
014:031 They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon.
The people were very faint;
014:032 and the people flew on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen,
and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people
ate them with the blood.
014:033 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin
against Yahweh, in that they eat with the blood.
He said, you have dealt treacherously: roll a great stone
to me this day.
014:034 Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them,
Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep,
and kill them here, and eat; and don't sin against Yahweh
in eating with the blood. All the people brought every man
his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
014:035 Saul built an altar to Yahweh: the same was the first altar
that he built to Yahweh.
014:036 Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night,
