SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:28

Entonces habló uno del pueblo, diciendo: Tu padre ha conjurado expresamente al pueblo, diciendo: Maldito sea el varón que comiere hoy alimento. Y el pueblo desfallecía de hambre .

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 28. Then answered one of the people, and said , etc.] To Jonathan, who might direct and encourage the people to do as he had done, at least so he did by his example, if not by words; the latter is not improbable: and therefore one of the men that came along with Saul, and had now joined Jonathan, and who heard what Saul had said, replied, thy father straitly charged the people with an oath ; gave them a strict charge, with an oath or imprecation annexed to it: saying, cursed be the man that eateth any food this day ; that is, until the evening, as in ( 1 Samuel 14:24) and the people were faint ; which is either the observation of the writer of the book; or it may be the words of the man, imputing the faintness of the people to this adjuration of Saul restraining them from food; or as taking notice how strictly the people observed it, though they were hungry, faint, and weary.

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.
