1 Samuel 13:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ And three bands came out of the camp of the Philistines, to destroy. One band turned to the road of Ophrah, to the land of Shual.

¹⁸ And another band turned toward the road to Beth Horon. And the third band turned toward the road of the territory that looks toward the valley of Zeboim, toward the wilderness.

¹⁹ Then there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears.”
