1 Samuel 14:22-24

Complete Jewish Bible

²² Likewise, on hearing that the P’lishtim were fleeing, all the men of Isra’el who had hidden themselves in the hills of Efrayim pursued them in battle. ²³ So Adonai saved Isra’el that day, and the battle spread as far as Beit-Aven.

²⁴ Isra’el’s soldiers had been driven to exhaustion that day; but Sha’ul issued this warning to the people: “A curse on any man who eats any food until evening, when I will have finished taking vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the people even tasted food.
