1 Samuel 13:16-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
16
Now Saul, his son Jonathan, and the people who were present with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin while the Philistines camped at Michmash.
17
Then raiders came from the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
18
and another company turned toward Beth-horon, and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the Valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19
Now no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, because the Philistines said, 'Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears.'
20
So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his hoe.
King James Version
Chapter 13
16
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
18
And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
20
But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 13
16
Saul, his son Jonathan, and the troops who were with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, and the Philistines were camped at Michmash.
17
Raiding parties went out from the Philistine camp in three divisions. One division headed toward the Ophrah road leading to the land of Shual.
18
The next division headed toward the Beth-horon road, and the last division headed down the border road that looks out over the Zeboim Valley toward the wilderness.
19
No blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel because the Philistines had said, "Otherwise, the Hebrews will make swords or spears."
20
So all the Israelites went to the Philistines to sharpen their plows, mattocks, axes, and sickles.
New Living Translation
Chapter 13
16
Saul and Jonathan and the troops with them were staying at Geba in the land of Benjamin. The Philistines set up their camp at Micmash.
17
Three raiding parties soon left the camp of the Philistines. One went north toward Ophrah in the land of Shual,
18
another went west to Beth-horon, and the third moved toward the border above the valley of Zeboim near the wilderness.
19
There were no blacksmiths in the land of Israel in those days. The Philistines wouldn’t allow them for fear they would make swords and spears for the Hebrews.
20
So whenever the Israelites needed to sharpen their plowshares, picks, axes, or sickles, they had to take them to a Philistine blacksmith.
English Standard Version

17
And raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18
another company turned toward Beth-horon; and another company turned toward the border that looks down on the Valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19
Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears."
20
But every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle,

16
Saul and his son Jonathan and the men with them were staying in Gibeah in Benjamin, while the Philistines camped at Mikmash.
17
Raiding parties went out from the Philistine camp in three detachments. One turned toward Ophrah in the vicinity of Shual,
18
another toward Beth Horon, and the third toward the borderland overlooking the Valley of Zeboyim facing the wilderness.
19
Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!"
20
So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plow points, mattocks, axes and sickles sharpened.
