1 Samuel 14:24
14:24 a 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.
