I nie śmiał się go żaden tknąć ani skosztować, abowiem się bali przysięgi.
Wszedłszy tedy lud do lasu, ujrzał płynący miód; wszakże nie doniósł żaden z miodem ręki swojej do ust swoich, bo się bał lud onej przysięgi.
Znajdowali się blisko plastrów, pszczoły odleciały, ale nikt nie podniósł swojej ręki do ust. Wojownicy bali się złamania przysięgi.
Zatem ludzie weszli do lasu, a oto struga miodu. Jednak nikt nie podniósł ręki do ust, ponieważ lud obawiał się przysięgi.
A gdy lud wszedł do lasu, ujrzał spływający miód. Nikt jednak nie podniósł ręki do ust, bo lud bał się tej przysięgi.
A gdy lud podszedł do tych plastrów, właśnie opływały miodem. Ale nikt nie podniósł ręki do ust, bo lud bał się złożonej przysięgi;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the people came into the wood, behold, the honey dropped,.... Either from trees, which produced it; so Diodorus Siculus t speaks of trees in some countries which produce honey; or from the sugar canes, as Jarchi; or rather from the honeycombs which were framed in trees by bees; so Hesiod u speaks of bees making their nests or combs in trees. Ben Gersom thinks that bee hives were placed here in rows by the wayside, from whence the honey flowed; or "went" w, or there was a going of it; perhaps the combs being pressed by the Philistines as they fled: the land of Canaan was a land flowing with milk and honey:
but no man put his hand to his mouth; that is, took not any of the honey and ate it, though it was so near at hand, and there was plenty of it:
for the people feared the oath: Saul adjured them by, or the imprecation he made on the person that should eat any food that day.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The honey dropped - Rather, âBehold a stream of honey.â The same thing may be seen in Spain, where in woody and rocky ground copious streams of honey are often found.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 14:26. The honey dropped — It seems to have dropped from the trees on the ground. Honey dews, as they are called, are not uncommon in most countries; and this appears to have been something of this kind. I have seen honey in considerable quantity on the trees and long grass in the fields, and have often eaten of it.
