14:24 The true reading seems to be οὐκ ἠρίστα. Tertullian quotes 'et tota terra non prandebat.'

BrLXXΚαὶ Σαοὺλ ἠγνόησεν ἄγνοιαν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἀρᾶται τῷ λαῷ, λέγων, ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς φάγεται ἄρτον ἕως ἑσπέρας· καὶ ἐκδικήσω τὸν ἐχθρόν μου· καὶ οὐκ ἐγεύσατο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἄρτου·
   (Kai Saʼoul aʸgnoaʸsen agnoian megalaʸn en taʸ haʸmera ekeinaʸ, kai aratai tōi laōi, legōn, epikataratos ho anthrōpos hos fagetai arton heōs hesperas; kai ekdikaʸsō ton eⱪthron mou; kai ouk egeusato pas ho laos artou; )


TSNTyndale Study Notes:

14:24 With his oath, Saul forced abstinence from food on men who were already hungry and exhausted from battle. This oath was probably a pagan-like attempt to manipulate God into giving them a favorable result (cp. notes on Exod 23:26; 25:22; 32:4).
• That Saul said my enemies rather than “our enemies” reflects his self-centered pride.


UTNuW Translation Notes:
