    20Then Saul and all the people with him assembled and went into battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.

    21Moreover, the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp, also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

    22All the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the mountains of Ephraim heard that the Philistines fled, and even they followed hard after them in the battle.

    23So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle passed beyond Beth Aven.

    24The men of Israel were distressed that day because Saul had placed the people under an oath, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats any food until evening, that I may avenge myself on my enemies." So none of the people tasted any food.

    25All the people of the land came to a forest, and there was honey on the ground.

    26When the people came into the forest, behold, the honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

    27But Jonathan had not heard when his father charged the people with the oath, so he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.

    28Then one of the people said, "Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed be the man who eats food today.'" And the people were faint.

    29Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. See, my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
