And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
Los hombres de Israel estaban en gran angustia ese día porque Saúl había hecho jurar al pueblo, diciendo: 'Maldito sea cualquiera que coma alimento antes del anochecer, para que yo pueda vengarme de mis enemigos.' Así que ninguno del pueblo comió nada.
Saúl hizo jurar al pueblo que no comiera hasta el anochecer para vengarse de sus enemigos, causando gran angustia entre los israelitas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, King Saul was leading the Israelites in battle against the Philistines, a longstanding enemy that often oppressed them through military raids and territorial control. During this conflict, Saul imposed a strict oath on his troops, forbidding them from eating any food until evening to maintain focus on defeating their enemies, which reflected the ancient cultural practice of vows to demonstrate devotion or ensure divine favor. This decision occurred amid a successful surprise attack by Saul's son Jonathan, which had already started shifting the battle in Israel's favor but was complicated by the resulting exhaustion of the soldiers.
