SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:25
Y aquel ejército de toda la tierra llegó a un bosque, donde había miel en la superficie del campo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:25
Verse 25. There was honey upon the ground] There were many wild bees in that country, and Judea is expressly said to be a land flowing with milk and honey.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And all they of the land came to a wood , etc.] Which lay between Bethaven and Aijalon; by whom are meant not all the inhabitants of the land of Israel, but all that came with Saul and Jonathan, and that joined them in the pursuit: and there was honey upon the ground ; which dropped upon it, as in the following verse, or where it was produced by bees; for Aristotle f273 reports, that bees in some places make their combs upon the ground; this was wild honey, which Diodorus Siculus speaks of as common in Arabia, and which perhaps John the Baptist ate of, ( Matthew 3:4). Jarchi says, this was the honey of canes, or sugar canes, which grew in the land of Israel; and affirms from Nathan an Ishmaelite, that in the Ishmaelitish or Arabic language they call honey, sugar; but neither of these can be proved.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-35 - Saul's severe order was very unwise; if it gained time, it los strength for the pursuit. Such is the nature of our bodies, that dail work cannot be done without daily bread, which therefore our Father in heaven graciously gives. Saul was turning aside from God, and now he begins to build altars, being then most zealous, as many are, for the form of godliness when he was denying the power of it.
