1 Samuel 13:17 in Context — 1 Samuel 13

15 Puis Samuel se leva, et monta de Guilgal à Guibea de Benjamin. Saül fit la revue du peuple qui se trouvait avec lui: il y avait environ six cents hommes.

16 Saül, son fils Jonathan, et le peuple qui se trouvait avec eux, avaient pris position à Guéba de Benjamin, et les Philistins campaient à Micmasch.

17 Il sortit du camp des Philistins trois corps pour ravager: l’un prit le chemin d’Ophra, vers le pays de Schual;

18 l’autre prit le chemin de Beth-Horon; et le troisième prit le chemin de la frontière qui regarde la vallée de Tseboïm, du côté du désert.

19 On ne trouvait point de forgeron dans tout le pays d’Israël; car les Philistins avaient dit: Empêchons les Hébreux de fabriquer des épées ou des lances.
