18 And another band turned toward the way to Beth Horon, and the [a]third band turned toward the way of the coast that looketh toward the valley of Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
19 Then there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.
20 Wherefore, all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, his mattock, and his axe, and his weeding hook.
