1 Samuel 13:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ And another band turned toward the road to Beth Horon. And the third band turned toward the road of the territory that looks toward the valley of Zeboim, toward the wilderness.

¹⁹ Then there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears.”

²⁰ Therefore, all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, so that each man could sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his weeding hook.
