24 And the men of Israel themselves were hard pressed* on that day, and yet Saul put the people under the pledge of an oath,*+ saying: “Cursed is the man that eats bread before the evening and until I have taken vengeance+ upon my enemies!” And none of the people tasted bread.+

19 And now let my lord the king, please, listen to the words of his servant: If it is Jehovah that has incited you against me, let him smell a grain offering.+ But if it is the sons of man,*+ they are cursed before Jehovah,+ because they have driven me out today from feeling myself attached to the inheritance of Jehovah,+ saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’+
