Saul’s army had difficulties

Saul’s army had difficulties

16Saul and his son Jonathan and the soldiers who were with them went to Geba city in the area of the tribe of Benjamin and set up their tents there. The Philistine army set up their tents at Micmash. 17Three groups of Philistia men soon left the place where their army was staying, and went and raided the Israeli towns/attacked the Israelis and took their possessions►. One group went north toward Ophrah city in the Shual region. 18One group went west to Beth-Horon city. The third group went toward the Israeli border, above Zeboim Valley, near the desert.

19At that time, there were no men in Israel who were blacksmiths/could make things from iron►. The people of Philistia would not permit the Israelis to do that, because they were afraid that they would make iron swords and spears for the Hebrews to fight with. 20So whenever the Israelis needed to sharpen the blades of their plows, or picks, or axes, or sickles, they were forced to take those things to a Philistia man who could sharpen those things. 21They needed to pay one fourth of an ounce/8 grams► of silver for sharpening a plow, and an eighth of an ounce/4 grams► of silver to sharpen an axe, or a sickle, or an ox goad/a pointed rod to jab an ox to make it walk►.

22So because the Israelis could not make weapons from iron, on the day that the Israelis fought against the men of Philistia, Saul and Jonathan were the only Israeli men who had swords. None of the others had a sword; they had only bows and arrows.

23Before the battle started, some Philistia men went to the pass/a narrow place between two cliffs► outside Micmash to guard it.
