1 Samuel 14:30
How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines? How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
The verse belongs to the time when Saul was denied the honor of defeating the Philistines because of his sin in making a presumptuous offering. God instead chose Jonathan, the king's son and a man who feared the Lord, as the instrument to deliver Israel. Moved by a divine impulse, Jonathan proposed to his armor-bearer a secret attack on the enemy camp, trusting that the Lord is not restrained and can save by many or by few.
In the verse Jonathan declares that if the people had been free to eat freely that day from the spoil taken from their enemies, the slaughter of the Philistines would have been much greater. Saul's oath had left the people faint from hunger, while Jonathan's tasting of honey restored his strength and showed the benefit that eating would have brought.
