← 1 Samuel 14:25	1 Samuel 14:26 (KJV)	1 Samuel 14:27 →
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.	But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
