1 Samuel 13:19
King James Version
“Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears:”
Context
16And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
18And another company turned the way Beth-horon: and another company turned the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears:
20But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
22So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
