1Samuel:13:16-22
web@1Samuel:13:16 @Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
web@1Samuel:13:17 @The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
web@1Samuel:13:18 @and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
web@1Samuel:13:19 @Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears";
web@1Samuel:13:20 @but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
web@1Samuel:13:21 @yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the plowshares, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.
web@1Samuel:13:22 @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 who were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
