扫罗和跟随他的人都聚集，来到战场，看见非利士人用刀互相击杀，大大惶乱。
And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
那藏在以法莲山地的以色列人听说非利士人逃跑，就出来紧紧地追杀他们。
Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
扫罗叫百姓起誓说，凡不等到晚上向敌人报完了仇吃什么的，必受咒诅。因此这日百姓没有吃什么，就极其困惫。
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
他们进了树林，见有蜜流下来，却没友人敢用手取蜜入口，因为他们怕那誓言。
And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
约拿单说，我父亲连累你们了。你看，我尝了这一点蜜，眼睛就明亮了。
Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
今日百姓若任意吃了从仇敌所夺的物，击杀的非利士人岂不更多吗。
How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
这日，以色列人击杀非利士人，从密抹直到亚雅仑。百姓甚是疲乏，
And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
就急忙将所夺的牛羊和牛犊宰于地上，肉还带血就吃了。
And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
有人告诉扫罗说，百姓吃带血的肉，得罪耶和华了。扫罗说，你们有罪了，今日要将大石头滚到我这里来。
Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
扫罗又说，你们散在百姓中，对他们说，你们各人将牛羊牵到我这里来宰了吃，不可吃带血的肉得罪耶和华。这夜，百姓就把牛羊牵到那里宰了。
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
