1 Samuel 14:26 in Context — 1 Samuel 14
24 La journée fut fatigante pour les hommes d’Israël. Saül avait fait jurer le peuple, en disant: Maudit soit l’homme qui prendra de la nourriture avant le soir, avant que je me sois vengé de mes ennemis! Et personne n’avait pris de nourriture.
25 Tout le peuple était arrivé dans une forêt, où il y avait du miel à la surface du sol.
26 Lorsque le peuple entra dans la forêt, il vit du miel qui coulait; mais nul ne porta la main à la bouche, car le peuple respectait le serment.
27 Jonathan ignorait le serment que son père avait fait faire au peuple; il avança le bout du bâton qu’il avait à la main, le plongea dans un rayon de miel, et ramena la main à la bouche; et ses yeux furent éclaircis.
28 Alors quelqu’un du peuple, lui adressant la parole, dit: Ton père a fait jurer le peuple, en disant: Maudit soit l’homme qui prendra de la nourriture aujourd’hui! Or le peuple était épuisé.
