1 Samuel 14:23-25

New American Standard Bible 1995

²³ So ^(A)the Lord delivered Israel that day, and the battle ^[a]spread beyond ^(B)Beth-aven.

Saul’s Foolish Order

²⁴ Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had ^(C)put the people under oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food ^[b]before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food. ²⁵ All the people of the land entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.
