1 Samuel 13:16-23
16And SaulH7586, and JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and the peopleH5971 that were presentH4672 with them, abodeH3427 in GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144: but the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583 in MichmashH4363.12
17And the spoilersH7843 came outH3318 of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 in threeH7969 companiesH7218: oneH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437 unto the wayH1870 that leadeth to OphrahH6084, unto the landH776 of ShualH7777: 18And anotherH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437 the wayH1870 to Beth–horonH1032: and anotherH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437 to the wayH1870 of the borderH1366 that lookethH8259 to the valleyH1516 of ZeboimH6650 toward the wildernessH4057.
19Now there was no smithH2796 foundH4672 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478: for the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Lest the HebrewsH5680 makeH6213 them swordsH2719 or spearsH2595: 20But all the IsraelitesH3478 went downH3381 to the PhilistinesH6430, to sharpenH3913 every manH376 his shareH4282, and his coulterH855, and his axeH7134, and his mattockH4281. 21Yet they had a fileH6310H6477 for the mattocksH4281, and for the coultersH855, and for the forksH7053H7969, and for the axesH7134, and to sharpenH5324 the goadsH1861.34 22So it came to pass in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, that there was neither swordH2719 nor spearH2595 foundH4672 in the handH3027 of any of the peopleH5971 that were with SaulH7586 and JonathanH3129: but with SaulH7586 and with JonathanH3129 his sonH1121 was there foundH4672. 23And the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 went outH3318 to the passageH4569 of MichmashH4363.5
