Numbers 30:2-5
When a man makes a vow to the Lord or swears an oath to put himself under an obligation, he must not break his word; he must do whatever he has promised.“ When a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the Lord or puts herself under an obligation,and her father hears about her vow or the obligation she put herself under, and he says nothing to her, all her vows and every obligation she put herself under are binding.But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, none of her vows and none of the obligations she put herself under are binding. The Lord will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.

1 Samuel 14 24-1 Samuel 14 45
and the men of Israel were worn out that day, for Saul had placed the troops under an oath:“ The man who eats food before evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies is cursed.” So none of the troops tasted any food.Everyone went into the forest, and there was honey on the ground.When the troops entered the forest, they saw the flow of honey, but none of them ate any of it because they feared the oath.However, Jonathan had not heard his father make the troops swear the oath. He reached out with the end of the staff he was carrying and dipped it into the honeycomb. When he ate the honey, he had renewed energy.Then, one of the troops said,“ Your father made the troops solemnly swear,‘ The man who eats food today is cursed,’ and the troops are exhausted.”Jonathan replied,“ My father has brought trouble to the land. Just look at how I have renewed energy because I tasted a little honey.How much better if the troops had eaten freely today from the plunder they took from their enemies! Then the slaughter of the Philistines would have been much greater.”The Israelites struck down the Philistines that day from Michmash all the way to Aijalon. Since the Israelites were completely exhausted,they rushed to the plunder, took sheep, cattle, and calves, slaughtered them on the ground, and ate meat with the blood still in it.Some reported to Saul:“ Look, the troops are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood still in it.” Saul said,“ You have been unfaithful. Roll a large stone over here at once.”He then said,“ Go among the troops and say to them,‘ Each man must bring me his ox or his sheep. Do the slaughtering here and then you can eat. Don’t sin against the Lord by eating meat with the blood in it.’” So every one of the troops brought his ox that night and slaughtered it there.Then Saul built an altar to the Lord; it was the first time he had built an altar to the Lord.Saul said,“ Let’s go down after the Philistines tonight and plunder them until morning. Don’t let even one remain!”“ Do whatever you want,” the troops replied. But the priest said,“ We must consult God here.”So Saul inquired of God,“ Should I go after the Philistines? Will You hand them over to Israel?” But God did not answer him that day.Saul said,“ All you leaders of the troops, come here. Let us investigate how this sin has occurred today.As surely as the Lord lives who saves Israel, even if it is because of my son Jonathan, he must die!” Not one of the troops answered him.So he said to all Israel,“ You will be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side.” And the troops replied,“ Do whatever you want.”So Saul said to the Lord,“ God of Israel, give us the right decision.” Jonathan and Saul were selected, and the troops were cleared of the charge.Then Saul said,“ Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan,” and Jonathan was selected.Saul commanded him,“ Tell me what you did.” Jonathan told him,“ I tasted a little honey with the end of the staff I was carrying. I am ready to die!”Saul declared to him,“ May God punish me and do so severely if you do not die, Jonathan!”But the people said to Saul,“ Must Jonathan die, who accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel? No, as the Lord lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he worked with God’s help today.” So the people redeemed Jonathan, and he did not die.
