21 Moreover the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from the surrounding country, they also joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. 22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden in the mountains of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Two men's ridiculous risk of faith caused all the backsliders and lost ones to fight boldly for the Lord.
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.”
Another's religious zeal brought weakness and a curse on the camp.
Are we acting in faith or religion? Relationship-based risks or religious effort?
