1 Samuel 14:24-46

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>_.
And all [they of] the land
<0776>
came
<0935> (8804)
to a wood
<03293>_;
and there was honey
<01706>
upon
<06440>
the ground
<07704>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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>_.
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>_?
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let us go down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>
by night
<03915>_,
and spoil
<0962> (8799)
them until the morning
<01242>
light
<0216>_,
and let us not leave
<07604> (8686)
a man
<0376>
of them. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Do
<06213> (8798)
whatsoever seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto thee. Then said
<0559> (8799)
the priest
<03548>_,
Let us draw near
<07126> (8799)
hither
<01988>
unto God
<0430>_.
And Saul
<07586>
asked
<07592> (8799)
counsel of God
<0430>_,
Shall I go down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_?
wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_?
But he answered
<06030> (8804)
him not that day
<03117>_.
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Draw ye near
<05066> (8798)
hither
<01988>_,
all the chief
<06438>
of the people
<05971>_:
and know
<03045> (8798)
and see
<07200> (8798)
wherein
<04100>
this sin
<02403>
hath been this day
<03117>_.
{chief: Heb. corners}
For, [as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
which saveth
<03467> (8688)
Israel
<03478>_,
though it be
<03426>
in Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>_,
he shall surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_.
But [there was] not a man among all the people
<05971>
[that] answered
<06030> (8802)
him.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto all Israel
<03478>_,
Be ye on one
<0259>
side
<05676>_,
and I and Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>
will be on the other
<0259>
side
<05676>_.
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Do
<06213> (8798)
what seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto thee.
Therefore Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
a perfect
<08549>
[lot]. And Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03129>
were taken
<03920> (8735)_:
but the people
<05971>
escaped
<03318> (8804)_.
{Give...: or, Shew the innocent} {escaped: Heb. went forth}
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Cast
<05307> (8685)
[lots] between me and Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>_.
And Jonathan
<03129>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_.
Then Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jonathan
<03129>_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
me what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_.
And Jonathan
<03129>
told
<05046> (8686)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I did but
<02938> (8800)
taste
<02938> (8804)
a little
<04592>
honey
<01706>
with the end
<07097>
of the rod
<04294>
that [was] in mine hand
<03027>_,
[and], lo
<02009>_,
I must die
<04191> (8799)_.
And Saul
<07586>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
do so
<06213> (8799)
and more also
<03254> (8686)_:
for thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_,
Jonathan
<03129>_.
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Shall Jonathan
<03129>
die
<04191> (8799)_,
who hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
this great
<01419>
salvation
<03444>
in Israel
<03478>_?
God forbid
<02486>_:
[as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
there shall not one hair
<08185>
of his head
<07218>
fall
<05307> (8799)
to the ground
<0776>_;
for he hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
with God
<0430>
this day
<03117>_.
So the people
<05971>
rescued
<06299> (8799)
Jonathan
<03129>_,
that he died
<04191> (8804)
not.
Then Saul
<07586>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from following
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
went
<01980> (8804)
to their own place
<04725>_.
