1 Samuel 14:28-29
14:28 Then someone from the army informed him, “Your father put the army under a strict oath 1 saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today!’ That is why the army is tired.”
14:29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has caused trouble for the land. See how my eyes gleamed 2 when I tasted just a little of this honey.
1 tn Heb “your father surely put the army under an oath.” The infinitive absolute is used before the finite verb to emphasize the solemn nature of the oath.
2 tc The LXX reads “saw.” See v. 27.
