1 Samuel 14:28 in Context — 1 Samuel 14

26 Entrou, pois, o povo no bosque, e eis que o mel corria; mas ninguém havia que chegasse a mão à sua boca: porque o povo temia o juramento.

27 Porém Jônatas não havia ouvido quando seu pai conjurou ao povo, e estendeu a ponta de uma vara que trazia em sua mão, e molhou-a em um favo de mel, e chegou sua mão a sua boca; e seus olhos se iluminaram.

28 Então falou um do povo, dizendo: Teu pai conjurou expressamente ao povo, dizendo: Maldito seja o homem que comer hoje alimento. E o povo desfalecia.

29 E Jônatas respondeu: Meu pai perturbou esta terra. Vede agora como foram aclarados meus olhos, por haver provado um pouco deste mel;
