1 Samuel 13:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears.

²⁰ So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake.

²¹ So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended.
