1 Samuel 13:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ The second group went on the Beth Horon road. The third group went on the border road that overlooks the Valley of Zeboim toward the desert.

¹⁹ The whole land of Israel had no blacksmith because the Philistines had said, “The Hebrews might make swords and spears.” ²⁰ So all the Israelites had to go down to the Philistines to have their plows, hoes, axes, and sickles sharpened.
