1 Samuel 14:23-27

So the Lord saved Israel that day, and the battle spread beyond Beth-aven. Saul’s Foolish Order

Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

All the people of the land entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.

When the people entered the forest, behold, there was honey dripping; but no man put his hand to his mouth, because the people feared the oath.

However, Jonathan had not heard it when his father put the people under oath; so he put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
