* And all they of the land came to a wood ya #ar #; and there was honey upon the ground . * And when the people were come into the wood ya #ar #, behold , the honey dropped ; but no man put his hand to his mouth : for the people feared the oath sh @buw #ah #. * 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 #H1706 , and put his hand to his mouth ; and his eyes were enlightened . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 ?
