1 Samuel 14:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ So the Lord saved Israel that day.

Saul’s Curse

Now, the battle moved beyond Beth Aven. ²⁴ Israel’s soldiers were driven hard that day. Saul made the troops swear, “Cursed is anyone who eats food before the evening comes and before I’ve gotten revenge on my enemies.” So none of his troops tasted any food. ²⁵ The entire land had honeycombs,^[a] and there was honey on the ground.
