撒母耳記上 14:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:25

And all they of the land came to a wood
Which lay between Bethaven and Aijalon; by whom are meant not all the inhabitants of the land of Israel, but all that came with Saul and Jonathan, and that joined them in the pursuit:

and there was honey upon the ground;
which dropped upon it, as in the following verse, or where it was produced by bees; for Aristotle F18 reports, that bees in some places make their combs upon the ground; this was wild honey, which Diodorus Siculus F19 speaks of as common in Arabia, and which perhaps John the Baptist ate of, ( Matthew 3:4 ) . Jarchi says, this was the honey of canes, or sugar canes, which grew in the land of Israel; and affirms from Nathan an Ishmaelite, that in the Ishmaelitish or Arabic language they call honey, sugar; but neither of these can be proved.

撒母耳記上 14:25 In-Context

23 那 日 , 耶 和 華 使 以 色 列 人 得 勝 , 一 直 戰 到 伯 亞 文 。
24 掃 羅 叫 百 姓 起 誓 說 , 凡 不 等 到 晚 上 向 敵 人 報 完 了 仇 吃 甚 麼 的 , 必 受 咒 詛 。 因 此 這 日 百 姓 沒 有 吃 甚 麼 , 就 極 其 困 憊 。
25 眾 民 進 入 樹 林 , 見 有 蜜 在 地 上 。
26 他 們 進 了 樹 林 , 見 有 蜜 流 下 來 , 卻 沒 有 人 敢 用 手 取 蜜 入 口 , 因 為 他 們 怕 那 誓 言 。
27 約 拿 單 沒 有 聽 見 他 父 親 叫 百 姓 起 誓 , 所 以 伸 手 中 的 杖 , 用 杖 頭 蘸 在 蜂 房 裡 , 轉 手 送 入 口 內 , 眼 睛 就 明 亮 了 。
