TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) How much better if the people … that they found?

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though that/for/because/then/when if to_eat he_ate the=day the,troops of,plunder enemies,their which/who he/it_found that/for/because/then/when now not great slaughter in/on/at/with,Philistines )

Jonathan uses this hypothetical question to state that the people should have been allowed to eat. This can be a statement. Alternate translation: “Our victory would have been better if the people had eaten freely today of the plunder that they took from their enemies.” (See also: figs-hypo)

(Occurrence 0) plunder

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though that/for/because/then/when if to_eat he_ate the=day the,troops of,plunder enemies,their which/who he/it_found that/for/because/then/when now not great slaughter in/on/at/with,Philistines )

This word refers to the things the people had taken from the battle with their enemy.

(Occurrence 0) Because now the slaughter has not been great

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though that/for/because/then/when if to_eat he_ate the=day the,troops of,plunder enemies,their which/who he/it_found that/for/because/then/when now not great slaughter in/on/at/with,Philistines )

Because the troops were not able to eat during the battle, as the day progressed, they became weaker. Because of this, they were not able to kill as many of the Philistines.
