SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:29
Y respondió Jonatán: Mi padre ha turbado la tierra. Ved ahora cómo han sido aclarados mis ojos, por haber gustado un poco de esta miel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. Then said Jonathan, my father hath troubled the land , etc.] The people of the land, as the Targum, the soldiers in his army; afflicted and distressed them, and made them uneasy in their minds, like troubled waters; the Arabic version is, “my father hath sinned against the people;” hath done them injury by forbidding them to eat. This was not wisely said by Jonathan; how much soever his father was to be blamed, it did not become him as a son thus to reflect upon him, and it might have tended to mutiny and sedition: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey ; the benefit he received by it was very visible; it might easily be discerned that he was greatly refreshed with it, and his spirits invigorated by it; it was to be seen in the cheerfulness of his countenance, and the briskness of his eyes: and he suggests it would have had the same effect upon the people, had they eaten of it, as he had done.
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.
