* And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies ro #sh #: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah , unto the land of Shual Shuw #al #: * And another company turned the way to Bethhoron Beyth : and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness . * Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel Yisra #el #: for the Philistines said , Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears : * But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines , to sharpen every man his share , and his coulter , and his axe , and his mattock . * Yet they had a file p @tsiyrah # for the mattocks , and for the coulters , and for the forks shalowsh #, and for the axes , and to sharpen the goads . * So it came to pass in the day of battle , that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan : but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found . * And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash .
