OET (OET-LV) And_came the_troops into the_forest and_see/lo/see a_flowing of_honey and_no [one_who]_reached his/its_hand to mouth_his if/because it_feared the_people DOM the_oath.
OET (OET-RV) Although the warriors entered the forest and saw the honey, none of them tasted any because they were afraid of the curse.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
(Occurrence 0) the honey flowed
(Some words not found in UHB: and,came the,troops to/towards the,forest and=see/lo/see! flow honey and,no put his/its=hand to/towards mouth,his that/for/because/then/when fearing the,people DOM the,oath )
This is an exaggeration to emphasize how much honey there was in the forest. Alternate translation: “there was a lot of honey everywhere”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) no one put his hand to his mouth
(Some words not found in UHB: and,came the,troops to/towards the,forest and=see/lo/see! flow honey and,no put his/its=hand to/towards mouth,his that/for/because/then/when fearing the,people DOM the,oath )
Here putting one’s “hand to his mouth” is a metonym that means to eat. Alternate translation: “no one ate any”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) the people feared the oath
(Some words not found in UHB: and,came the,troops to/towards the,forest and=see/lo/see! flow honey and,no put his/its=hand to/towards mouth,his that/for/because/then/when fearing the,people DOM the,oath )
The people were not afraid of the oath, but of the punishment that was associated with breaking the oath. Alternate translation: “the people were afraid of what Saul would do to them if they broke his oath”
14:1-52 Saul’s behavior in this chapter further justifies his dismissal as king (13:8-14; see also ch 15). Saul was alienated from both Samuel and his heroic son Jonathan. Chapter 14 anticipates the significant role that Jonathan played in the transition from Saul’s kingship to David’s.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
