1 Samuel 14:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ Now the Israelite soldiers were in a difficult situation that day because Saul had bound the troops by a solemn pledge: “Anyone who eats anything before evening when I have taken revenge on my enemies is doomed.” So none of the army ate anything. ²⁵ The troops^[a] came across a honeycomb with honey on the ground. ²⁶ But even when they came across the honeycomb with the honey still flowing, no one ate any of it because the troops were afraid of the solemn pledge.
