1 Samuel 14:24
Jonathan Violates Saul’s Oath

Jeremiah 44:25-27
44:25 The
Lord God of Israel who rules over all says, ‘You women
have confirmed by your actions what you vowed with your lips! You said, “We will certainly carry out our vows to sacrifice and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.” Well, then fulfill your vows! Carry them out!’
44:26 But
listen to what the
Lord has to say, all you people of Judah who are living in the land of Egypt. The
Lord says, ‘I hereby swear by my own great name that none of the people of Judah who are living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name in their oaths! Never again will any of them use it in an oath saying, “As surely as the Lord
God lives….”
44:27 I will indeed
see to it that disaster, not prosperity, happens to them.
All the people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will die in war or from starvation until not one of them is left.

“Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

because more than forty of them
are lying in ambush
for him. They

not to eat or drink anything
until they have killed him, and now they are ready, waiting for you to agree to their request.”
