Samuel 14:27"> 27 Empero Jonath�n no hab�a o�do cuando su padre conjur� al pueblo, y alarg� la punta de una vara que tra�a en su mano, y moj�la en un panal de miel, y lleg� su mano � su boca; y sus ojos fueron aclarados.
Pero Jonat�n no hab�a o�do cuando su padre hab�a juramentado al pueblo, y alarg� la punta de una vara que tra�a en su mano, y la moj� en un panal de miel, y lleg� su mano a su boca; y sus ojos fueron aclarados.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath,.... Which charge was given, either before he came from Gibeah, before he came to Jonathan, or while pursuing, when Jonathan was with another party either fighting or pursuing:
wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand: the staff with which he walked, or rather the spear which he carried in his hand, and fought his enemies with:
and dipped it in an honeycomb; or sugar cane, as Jarchi; or in wood honey, as the margin of our Bibles; but best, in the honeycomb, as the word is rendered, Song of Solomon 5:1 and so the Targum, into the nest of honey x:
and he put his hand to his mouth; first he took the honey off of the top of his rod, and then put it to his mouth and ate it;
and his eyes were enlightened: which before were dim and dull through want of food, which is a common case; but became brisk and lively on eating the honey, nourishment being presently communicated, and he refreshed with it, and his spirits revived; and which quickly appeared in the briskness and sparkling of his eyes: honey being of a subtle nature, gives immediate refreshment and rigour; hence this phrase is frequently used by Jewish writers y for refreshment, after hunger, fatigue, and weariness; and which virtue is ascribed by them to fine bread, wine, oil, and particularly to honey.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Were enlightened - i. e., he was refreshed, when he was faint.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 14:27. His eyes were enlightened. — Hunger and fatigue affect and dim the sight; on taking food, this affection is immediately removed. This most people know to be a fact.
