1 Samuel 14:25

← 1 Samuel 14:24	1 Samuel 14:25 (KJV)	1 Samuel 14:26 →
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food.	And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.	And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
