    24 Now the Israelites were hard-pressed that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath, saying, 'Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!' So none of the troops tasted food.

    25 The entire army entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.

    26 When the people entered the forest, they saw honey flowing, but no one dared to lift a hand to his mouth because the people were afraid of the oath.

    27 Jonathan, however, had not heard his father make the people swear the oath. So he reached out the tip of the staff in his hand, dipped it into the honeycomb, and raised it to his mouth. His eyes then brightened.

    28 Then one of the men said, 'Your father solemnly charged the people, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’ That is why the people are faint.'

As surely as the Lord lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he acted with God’s help today.' So the people rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.
