Chapter 14

KJV - 1 Samuel 14:27

But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

But Jonathan didn't hear his dad ask people to swear an oath. So, he stuck the end of his stick into a honeycomb, then licked it. This made him see better.
