1 Samuel 14:27

27 But Jonathan had not heard about the oath his father had made the army take. He extended the end of his staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he ate it, ^{▼▼ Heb “and he returned his hand to his mouth.”} his eyes gleamed. ^{▼▼ The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading “gleamed,” rather than the Kethib, “saw.”}
