ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૪:૨૬
લોકોએ વનમાં પ્રવેશ કર્યો ત્યારે, મધ ટપકતું હતું, પણ કોઈએ પોતાના હાથથી મધ લઈને ચાખ્યું નહિ કેમ કે તેઓ સોગનથી બીતા હતા.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १४:२६
जब लोग वन में आए तब क्या देखा, कि मधु टपक रहा है, तो भी शपथ के डर के मारे कोई अपना हाथ अपने मुँह तक न ले गया।

In context

24The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

25All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

26When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

27But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.

28Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.
