Answer: a day's pestilence

God gave David a choice out of three punishments: seven years of famine, pursuit by his enemies for three months, or pestilence. David didn't say anything regarding these.

Answer: Nabal

1 Samuel 25:37-38. Fun fact: Nabal means "fool" in English. Before this happened, Abigail, Nabal's wife, had a conversation with King David. King David was planning to hurt Nabal for disrespecting him. Abigail convinced David to not slay Nabal. Then Nabal had a feast like unto a king's and Abigail didn't tell him about this convo until the next morning.

Answer: Jonathan

1 Samuel 14:25-29. Saul, Jonathan and his army were plundering the Philistines. Saul issued a decree saying that if you ate anything that day, you'd be cursed unto death. Jonathan didn't know about it, or maybe he didn't listen. He found honey near wood and ate it.
