1 Samuel 13:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual;

¹⁸ And another went by the way of Beth-horon, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards the desert.

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.
