Contextual Overview

²⁴ The men of Israel were miserable that day because Saul had made an oath for all of them. He had said, "No one should eat food before evening and before I finish defeating my enemies. If he does, he will be cursed!" So no Israelite soldier ate food. ²⁵ Now the army went into the woods, where there was some honey on the ground. ²⁶ They came upon some honey, but no one took any because they were afraid of the oath. ²⁷ Jonathan had not heard the oath Saul had put on the army, so he dipped the end of his stick into the honey and lifted some out and ate it. Then he felt better. ²⁸ Then one of the soldiers told Jonathan, "Your father made an oath for all the soldiers. He said any man who eats today will be cursed! That's why they are so weak." ²⁹ Jonathan said, "My father has made trouble for the land! See how much better I feel after just tasting a little of this honey! ³⁰ It would have been much better for the men to eat the food they took from their enemies today. We could have killed many more Philistines!" ³¹ That day the Israelites defeated the Philistines from Micmash to Aijalon. After that, they were very tired. ³² They had taken sheep, cattle, and calves from the Philistines. Now they were so hungry they killed the animals on the ground and ate them, without draining the blood from them! ³³ Someone said to Saul, "Look! The men are sinning against the Lord . They're eating meat without draining the blood from it!" Saul said, "You have sinned! Roll a large stone over here now!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon,.... Michmash was the place where the camp of the Philistines was when Jonathan first attacked them, and from whence they fled, and they were pursued by the Israelites that day as far as Aijalon. There was a city of this name in the tribe of Dan, famous for the moon standing still in a valley adjoining to it, in the time of Joshua, Joshua 10:12 and another in the tribe of Zebulun, Judges 12:12, but they both seem to be at too great a distance to be the place here meant, which rather seems to be Aijalon in the tribe of Judah, 2 Chronicles 11:10 according to Bunting z, it was twelve miles from Michmash:

and the people were very faint; as they might well be, with pursuing the enemy so many miles, and doing so much execution among them, without eating any food.

z Travels of the Patriarchs, &c. p. 127.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Aijalon. - The modern Yalo. It lies upon the side of a hill to the south of a fine valley which opens from between the two Bethhorons right down to the western plain of the Philistines, exactly on the route which the Philistines, when expelled from the high country about Michmash and Bethel, would take to regain their own country. Aijalon would be 15 or 20 miles from Michmash.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 14:31. They smote the Philistines - from Mishmash to Aijalon — The distance Calmet states to be three or four leagues.
