1 Samuel 14:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ The men saw all the honey but none of them ate any of it. They were afraid that God would curse them. ²⁷ But Jonathan had not heard about the soldiers' promise to his father. He pushed the end of his stick into the honey. He took some honey on his fingers and he ate it. Then he felt stronger. ²⁸ One of the soldiers told Jonathan, ‘Your father made us promise not to eat any food today. We all agreed that God should curse anyone who eats anything. That is why we are all so weak.’
