King Saul makes a rule for all the people to follow concerning not eating anything until the evening. Jonathan did not hear the oath made by Saul and took of some honey that dropped to the ground.
Saul is determined to put Jonathan to death for breaking the oath but the people intervene for him. Because of the oath, the people sin against the Lord by eating animals with the blood.
This is what happens when a man decides that his rules are more important than God's precepts. This is a true picture of the legalism so rampant in the churches today. Instead of helping people to live for the Lord, it causes them to disobey God and His word in ways that might never happen were it not for the manmade rules and decrees. Stick with the Bible and you won't go wrong.
