1 Samuel 14:27

---

← 1 Samuel 14:26	1 Samuel 14:27 (KJV)	1 Samuel 14:28 →
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.	Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food this day. And the people were faint.
