1 Samuel 13:15-22
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ And Samuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal in [a]Gibeah of Benjamin: and Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.
16 And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, had their abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines pitched in Michmash.
17 And there came out of the host of the Philistines [b]three bands to destroy, one band turned unto the way of Ophrah unto the land of Shual,
18 And another band turned toward the way to Beth Horon, and the [c]third band turned toward the way of the coast that looketh toward the valley of Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
19 Then there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.
20 Wherefore, all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, his mattock, and his axe, and his weeding hook.
21 Yet they had a file for the shares, and for the mattocks, and for the pick forks, and for the axes, and for to sharpen the goads.
22 So when the day of battle was come, there was neither [d]sword nor spear found in the hands of any of the people that were with Saul and with Jonathan: but only with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found.
