“And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.” This honey was of God’s own providing. He desired that the armies of Israel should partake of this food, and receive strength. But Saul, who was not under the direction of God, had interposed his rash oath (The Youth’s Instructor, December 1, 1898).{2BC 1015.8}

"Der fandtes nogle bikager på marken.” Disse bikager var Guds eget forsyn. Han ønskede at Israels hære skulle have del i denne mad, og få styrke. Men Saul, som ikke var under Guds ledelse, havde lagt sin overilede ed imellem (YI 1. dec., 1898).
