1 Samuel 14:27 in Context — 1 Samuel 14

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.

29 Et Jonathan dit: Mon père trouble le peuple; voyez donc comme mes yeux se sont éclaircis, parce que j’ai goûté un peu de ce miel.
