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

    26When 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.

    27Jonathan, 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.

    28Then 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.'

    29Jonathan said, 'My father has brought trouble to the land. See how my eyes have brightened because I tasted just a little of this honey.'
