28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.) 29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey: 30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines? 31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly. 1 Samuel 14:28-31, Douay-Rheims Bible. Public domain.
