1 Samuel 14:24-35

14:24

And the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

were distressed
<05065> (8738)

that day
<03117>_:

for Saul
<07586>

had adjured
<0422> (8686)

the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the man
<0376>

that eateth
<0398> (8799)

[any] food
<03899>

until evening
<06153>_,

that I may be avenged
<05358> (8738)

on mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

So none of the people
<05971>

tasted
<02938> (8804)

[any] food
<03899>_.

14:25

And all [they of] the land
<0776>

came
<0935> (8804)

to a wood
<03293>_;

and there was honey
<01706>

upon
<06440>

the ground
<07704>_.

14:26

And when the people
<05971>

were come
<0935> (8799)

into the wood
<03293>_,

behold, the honey
<01706>

dropped
<01982>_;

but no man put
<05381> (8688)

his hand
<03027>

to his mouth
<06310>_:

for the people
<05971>

feared
<03372> (8804)

the oath
<07621>_.

14:27

But Jonathan
<03129>

heard
<08085> (8804)

not when his father
<01>

charged
<07650> (0)

the people
<05971>

with the oath
<07650> (8687)_:

wherefore he put forth
<07971> (8799)

the end
<07097>

of the rod
<04294>

that [was] in his hand
<03027>_,

and dipped
<02881> (8799)

it in an honeycomb
<03295> <01706>_,

and put
<07725> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

to his mouth
<06310>_;

and his eyes
<05869>

were enlightened
<0215> (8799)_.

14:28

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

one
<0376>

of the people
<05971>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy father
<01>

straitly
<07650> (8687)

charged
<07650> (0)

the people
<05971>

with an oath
<07650> (8689)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the man
<0376>

that eateth
<0398> (8799)

[any] food
<03899>

this day
<03117>_.

And the people
<05971>

were faint
<05774> (8799)_.

{faint: or, weary}

14:29

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jonathan
<03129>_,

My father
<01>

hath troubled
<05916> (8804)

the land
<0776>_:

see
<07200> (8798)_,

I pray you, how mine eyes
<05869>

have been enlightened
<0215> (8804)_,

because I tasted
<02938> (8804)

a little
<04592>

of this honey
<01706>_.

14:30

How much more
<0637>_,

if haply
<03863>

the people
<05971>

had eaten
<0398> (8804)

freely
<0398> (8800)

to day
<03117>

of the spoil
<07998>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)

which they found
<04672> (8804)_?

for had there not been now a much greater
<07235> (8804)

slaughter
<04347>

among the Philistines
<06430>_?

14:31

And they smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>

that day
<03117>

from Michmash
<04363>

to Aijalon
<0357>_:

and the people
<05971>

were very
<03966>

faint
<05774> (8799)_.

14:32

And the people
<05971>

flew
<05860> (8799) <06213> (8799)

upon the spoil
<07998>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

sheep
<06629>_,

and oxen
<01241>_,

and calves
<01121>_,

and slew
<07819> (8799)

[them] on the ground
<0776>_:

and the people
<05971>

did eat
<0398> (8799)

[them] with the blood
<01818>_.

14:33

Then they told
<05046> (8686)

Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the people
<05971>

sin
<02398> (8802)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

in that they eat
<0398> (8800)

with the blood
<01818>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Ye have transgressed
<0898> (8804)_:

roll
<01556> (8798)

a great
<01419>

stone
<068>

unto me this day
<03117>_.

{transgressed: or, dealt treacherously}

14:34

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Disperse
<06327> (8798)

yourselves among the people
<05971>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Bring me hither
<05066> (8685)

every man
<0376>

his ox
<07794>_,

and every man
<0376>

his sheep
<07716>_,

and slay
<07819> (8804)

[them] here, and eat
<0398> (8804)_;

and sin
<02398> (8799)

not against the LORD
<03068>

in eating
<0398> (8800)

with the blood
<01818>_.

And all the people
<05971>

brought
<05066> (8686)

every man
<0376>

his ox
<07794>

with him
<03027>

that night
<03915>_,

and slew
<07819> (8799)

[them] there. {with him: Heb. in his hand}

14:35

And Saul
<07586>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

the same was the first
<02490> (8689)

altar
<04196>

that he built
<01129> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

{the same...: Heb. that altar he began to build unto the LORD}
