Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done. Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, behold, I must die.
"God do so to me and more also"  (1 Samuel 14:44).  We have already noted the pagan nature of this godless oath which so effectively marred and nullified what would have been the greatest victory in Israel's history. To us it appears that there is no possible justification for Saul's disastrous oath.  These words perfectly fit the pagan mouth of Jezebel, but had no place whatever in the mouth of "The Lord's Anointed"!
