1 Samuel 14:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:31

And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to
Aijalon
Michmash was the place where the camp of the Philistines was when Jonathan first attacked them, and from whence they fled, and they were pursued by the Israelites that day as far as Aijalon. There was a city of this name in the tribe of Dan, famous for the moon standing still in a valley adjoining to it, in the time of Joshua, ( Joshua 10:12 ) ( 19:42 ) and another in the tribe of Zebulun, ( Judges 12:12 ) , but they both seem to be at too great a distance to be the place here meant, which rather seems to be Aijalon in the tribe of Judah, ( 2 Chronicles 11:10 ) according to Bunting F26, it was twelve miles from Michmash:

and the people were very faint;
as they might well be, with pursuing the enemy so many miles, and doing so much execution among them, without eating any food.

1 Samuel 14:31 In-Context

29 Y respondi贸 Jonat谩n: Mi padre ha turbado la tierra. Ved ahora c贸mo han sido aclarados mis ojos, por haber gustado un poco de esta miel.
30 驴Cu谩nto m谩s si el pueblo hubiera hoy comido del despojo de sus enemigos que hall贸? 驴No se habr铆a hecho ahora mayor estrago en los filisteos?
31 E hirieron aquel d铆a a los filisteos desde Micmas hasta Ajal贸n; mas el pueblo se cans贸 mucho.
32 Se lanz贸, por tanto, el pueblo al despojo, y tomaron ovejas y vacas y becerros, y los mataron en tierra, y el pueblo comi贸 con sangre.
33 Y dieron aviso de ello a Sa煤l, diciendo: El pueblo peca contra el SE脩OR comiendo con sangre. Y 茅l dijo: Vosotros hab茅is prevaricado; rodadme ahora ac谩 una gran piedra.
