*
Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel ,
for the Philistines said , "
Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears ."
*
But all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man '
s plowshare ,
his mattock ,
his ax ,
and his sickle ;
*
and the charge for a sharpening was a pim for the plowshares ,
the mattocks ,
the forks ,
and the axes ,
and to set the points of the goads .
*
So it came about ,
on 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 they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son .
*
And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash .
