24, 25. Honey of God’s Providing—This rash oath of Saul’s was a human invention. It was not inspired of God, and God was displeased with it. Jonathan and his armorbearer, who, through God, had wrought deliverance for Israel that day, had become weak through hunger. The people also were weary and hungry.{2BC 1015.7}

24,25. Bikager ved Guds forsyn. - Denne overilede ed fra Saul var et menneskeligt påfund. Den var ikke indgydt fra Gud, og Gud var ikke tilfreds med den. Jonatan og hans våbenbærer, som igennem Gud havde bevirket Israels udfrielse den dag, var blevet svag på grund af sult. Folket var også træt og sulten.
