²⁴ The men of Israel were hard pressed on that day, and Saul required the army to take an oath: “Cursed is the person who eats food before evening and before I’ve been avenged of my enemies.” So no one tasted food.

²⁵ Later on, all the soldiers^[a] entered the woods, and there was honey on the ground.
