And the people were faint. [29] 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. [30] How much more, if haply the people had eaten to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
