1 Samuel 14:28-30

Good News Translation

²⁸ But one of the men told him, “We are all weak from hunger, but your father threatened us and said, ‘A curse be on anyone who eats any food today.’”

²⁹ Jonathan answered, “What a terrible thing my father has done to our people! See how much better I feel because I ate some honey! ³⁰ How much better it would have been today if our people had eaten the food they took when they defeated the enemy. Just think how many more Philistines they would have killed!”
