09:014:020 And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled
           themselves, and they came to the battle:  and, behold, every
           man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great
           discomfiture.

09:014:021 Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before
           that time, which went up with them into the camp from the
           country round about, even they also turned to be with the
           Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

09:014:022 Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in
           mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even
           they also followed hard after them in the battle.

09:014:023 So the lord saved Israel that day:  and the battle passed over
           unto Bethaven.

09:014:024 And the men of Israel were distressed that day:  for Saul had
           adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any
           food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies.  So
           none of the people tasted any food.

09:014:025 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey
           upon the ground.

09:014:026 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey
           dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth:  for the people
           feared the oath.

09:014:027 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with
           the oath:  wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was
           in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand
           to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

09:014:028 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly
           charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man
           that eateth any food this day.  And the people were faint.

09:014:029 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land:  see, I
           pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I
           tasted a little of this honey.

09:014:030 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of
           the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not
           been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

09:014:031 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to
           Aijalon:  and the people were very faint.

09:014:032 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen,
           and calves, and slew them on the ground:  and the people did
           eat them with the blood.

09:014:033 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against
           the lord, in that they eat with the blood.  And he said, Ye
           have transgressed:  roll a great stone unto me this day.
