19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, We do not want the Hebrews to make swords and spears; 20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his sickle and his ploughshare and his axe and his mattock. 21 And there was a broad file for the sickle and for the ploughshare and for mattocks and for the axe and to sharpen the goads. 22 So in the day of the battle, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them. 1 Samuel 13:19-22, Lamsa Bible.
