Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 14:25

_ _ all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey — The honey is described as “upon the ground,” “dropping” from the trees, and in honeycombs — indicating it to be bees’ honey. “Bees in the East are not, as in England, kept in hives; they are all in a wild state. The forests literally flow with honey; large combs may be seen hanging on the trees as you pass along, full of honey” [Roberts].
