L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 14:1-52

Jonathan had been acting for God at the time Saul had pronounced his prohibition, so that he was not there to hear it. With the end of his rod he dipped honey from a honeycomb. In eating it, his eyes were enlightened, which certainly involves a revival of strength. Honey is typical of the ministry of the Word of God. Just as the worker bees digest the nectar before storing the honey for the use of all the hive, so believers, meditating on the Word, digest it before presenting it to others in... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:1-52

THE MONARCHY ON ITS WAY The period covered by these chapters is doubtless of some length, whose history is summed up in the closing verses of the second (v. 47-52). But there are special features reported in detail which constitute the substance of the lesson. THE RENDEZVOUS AT GILGAL (1 Samuel 13:1-4 ) Saul’s plan seems to have been not a large standing army but a small body- guard, divided between him and his son (1 Samuel 13:2 ), for the purpose of harassing the enemy in detachments.... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Samuel 14:1-52

Saul's Early Efforts 1 Samuel 13:1; 1 Samuel 14:01 Samuel 14:0 IN these two chapters we have an opportunity of seeing how Saul betook himself to his kingly work. He did not rush upon his office in indecent haste. We have seen that after his anointing he returned to pursue his usual avocations, and that only upon receiving a special summons from men in distress did he arise to vindicate his true position in Israel. Having overthrown Nahash the Ammonite and received a renewal of the kingdom at... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:24-46

(24) ¶ 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. (25) And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground. (26) 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. (27) But Jonathan heard not when his... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 14:36-46

36-46 If God turns away our prayer, we have reason to suspect it is for some sin harboured in our hearts, which we should find out, that we may put it away, and put it to death. We should always first suspect and examine ourselves; but an unhumbled heart suspects every other person, and looks every where but at home for the sinful cause of calamity. Jonathan was discovered to be the offender. Those most indulgent to their own sins are most severe upon others; those who most disregard God's... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Samuel 14:24-46

Saul's Unwise Adjuration v. 24. And the men of Israel were distressed that day, harassed, thoroughly wearied; 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. This was an act of false zeal, unauthorized by the Lord, Saul having more regard to his royal power than to the honor of Jehovah. So none of the people tasted any food, although they were jaded to the point of exhaustion. v. 25. And all they of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:36-52

the Man Who Wrought with God Rescued 1 Samuel 14:36-52 In this case the voice of the people was the voice of God. If a man dares to stand alone with God, he cannot be put to shame. If he says of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” Ten thousand voices answer: “He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shall thou trust…. Thou shalt not be afraid.” “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 14:1-52

Here we have a picture of Saul, with a part of the army about him, remaining idle in Gibeah. His son Jonathan moved to action by his sense of the degradation of his people, and his conviction of the strength of Jehovah, made a remarkable attack on the foe, which issued first in the slaughter of twenty men. This sudden onrush on the Philistines in so unexpected a way produced panic throughout all their hosts. As a result of this, Saul and the rest of the people who had been in hiding went forth... read more
