1 Samuel 14:

25And all the people of the land came to a wood, (to thicken with verdure; a copse of bushes; hence a forest; hence honey in the comb (as hived in trees) and there was honey (to be gummy; honey (from its stickiness); by analogy syrup) on the ground. (to spread out; a field as flat)

REWRITE: And all the people of the land came to a place of thick growth. In that place there was the sweet Word of God spread out on a wide and 'unstoppable' place.

26When the men entered the wood, (to thicken with verdure; a copse of bushes; hence a forest; hence honey in the comb (as hived in trees) behold, the honey ((to be gummy; honey (from its stickiness); by analogy syrup)was dripping, (a journey, that is, (by implication) a wayfarer; also a flowing; journey, go, walk, come; to die, live, manner of life) but no man tasted it, (to 'reach' his 'power, means, direction' in the means of 'speach' or 'to scatter into corners' or to 'to cleave in pieces, break into pieces, shatter') for the men feared (to fear, reverence, honour, respect, be awed) (#853 AS A SIGN FROM GOD) the oath. (the 'curse' would become 'completed')

REWRITE: Humanity entered this place of thick growth. Pay attention! The Word of God was flowing in the 'manner of life/living', but NO human reached out his powers, means or direction to SPEAK it in order to shatter it, break it and scatter it to the four corners of the Earth. Humanity feared and were in awe of the 'curse/death', fearing that it would be completed.

27 But Jonathan (Given of God) had not heard when his father charged the people with the oath. (the 'curse' would become 'completed') So he dipped (TO PLUNGE; to send away, to let go, to stretch out, extend, direct) (#853 AS A SIGN FROM GOD) the end of the rod ("the whole, end, mouth, extremity; to cut off/scrape off" of the "a branch (as extending); figuratively a tribe; also a rod, whether for chastising (figuratively correction), ruling (a sceptre), throwing (a lance), or walking (a staff; figuratively a support of life, for example bread)...as to 'stretch out' or 'spread out') in his hand (strength/power/direction) into a honeycomb (to thicken with verdure/growth) and put it to his mouth,  (returned his 'power, strength, direction, to his 'speach')and his [weary] eyes (as showing mental qualities; of mental and spiritual faculties) brightened. (enlightened/become luminous/to be or become light/to shine)

REWRITE: But JESUS had not heard this,...that Father God had charged people with a curse of death. So he extended His Words, spreading the out to support LIFE (BREAD OF LIFE). He used His strength, power and direction to thicken the growth of the spiritually and mental weary and enlighten them...making them LIGHT, LUMINOUS and SHINNING!
