Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 14:26

26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped , but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

It hath been observed by many Travellers, and Writers, That Bees do oft-times settle themselves, and make their Hives, and Honey, in the Trunks of Trees, or Clefts of Rocks, or Holes of the Earth; and this in divers Countries, but eminently in this of Canaan; as may be gathered from Deut. 32. 13. Psal. 81. 16. whence it was called, a land flowing with milk and honey.
