1 Samuel 14:44
Saul said, "May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not die, Jonathan."

Saul is so hard to like. He's like the ultimate arrogant man who rashly makes statements and vows without thinking what they mean. He then feels compelled to follow through with these vows, even though they will lead to the death of others. I'm sure I have made ridiculous vows that were not scripturally based so I can't knock on Saul too much but I can't imagine being willing to kill my son because of a ridiculous vow I made.

Saul seems to be very impulsive and reckless with his mouth. he made vows that only caused more difficulty for others. What shocks me is that though he was careless by putting a curse upon anyone who ate that day, that despite all that Jonathan did, in this verse Saul is not the least bit remorseful but curses himself and is willing to kill his son for the sake of fulfilling his vow.

I think Saul was jealous of Jonathan. This is his perfect opportunity to get rid of him. He's ranting and saying who subbed? It WA Saul himself that sinned by making them vow to not eat. Notice all the soldiers has his # tho. They knew he was wrong and refuse to kill Jonathan. Saul was a very sad insecure man.

i agree, it seemed Saul knew Jon wasn't around, then made that rule. Reminds me of when Jephthah vowed to give God whatever came out of his house first. It was a stupid vow but at least Jephthah tore his clothes in grief. Saul was like yippee it was my son!
