Lamentations 1:4-6
New King James Version
4 The roads to Zion mourn
Because no one comes to the [a]set feasts.
All her gates are (A)desolate;
Her priests sigh,
Her virgins are afflicted,
And she is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries (B)have become [b]the master,
Her enemies prosper;
For the Lord has afflicted her
(C)Because of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her (D)children have gone into captivity before the enemy.
6 And from the daughter of Zion
All her splendor has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
That find no pasture,
That [c]flee without strength
Before the pursuer.

“Humble yourselves;
Sit down,
For your rule shall collapse, the crown of your glory.”

And no one shall open them;
Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it;
It shall be wholly carried away captive.

1 Samuel 13:17-23
New King James Version
17 Then raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned onto the road to (A)Ophrah, to the land of Shual, 18 another company turned to the road to (B)Beth Horon, and another company turned to the road of the border that overlooks the Valley of (C)Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 Now (D)there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.” 20 But all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man’s plowshare, his mattock, his ax, and his sickle; 21 and the charge for a sharpening was a [a]pim for the plowshares, the mattocks, the forks, and the axes, and to set the points of the goads. 22 So it came about, on the day of battle, that (E)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.
23 (F)And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
