1 Samuel 13:15–22

15 Then Samuel got up and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul mustered the people who were found with him, about six hundred men. 16 Saul and Jonathan his son and the army that remained with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, and the Philistines encamped at Micmash. 17 The ⌊raiders⌋k went out from the camp of the Philistines in three divisions. One division turned on the roadl to Ophrah toward the land of Shual. 18 One division turned on the roadm to Beth Horon, and one turned on the roadn toward the border overlooking the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

19 Now no skilled craftsman could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had said, “So that the Hebrews cannot make swords or spears for themselves.” 20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to have his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his iron plowshareo sharpened. 21 The chargep was ⌊two-thirds of a shekel⌋q for the plowshare and for the mattock, and ⌊a third of a shekel for the pick⌋r and for the axe, and to set the goading sticks. 22 ⌊So⌋s on the day of battle, there was not a sword or a spear found in the hands of all the army that was with Saul and Jonathan, but ⌊Saul and his son Jonathan had them⌋.t
