1 Samuel 13:20 in Context — 1 Samuel 13
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.
20 Et chaque homme en Israël descendait chez les Philistins pour aiguiser son soc, son hoyau, sa hache et sa bêche,
21 quand le tranchant des bêches, des hoyaux, des tridents et des haches, était émoussé, et pour redresser les aiguillons.
22 Il arriva qu’au jour du combat il ne se trouvait ni épée ni lance entre les mains de tout le peuple qui était avec Saül et Jonathan; il ne s’en trouvait qu’auprès de Saül et de Jonathan, son fils.
