1 Samuel 13:20-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. Therefore, all of Israel descended to the Philistines, so that each man could sharpen his plowshare, or pick axe, or hatchet, or hoe.

21. For their plow blades, and pick axes, and pitch forks, and axes had become blunt, and even the handles needed to be repaired.

22. And when the day of battle had arrived, there was found neither sword nor spear in the hand of the entire people who were with Saul and Jonathan, except for Saul and his son Jonathan.

23. Then the army of the Philistines went out in order to go across Michmash.
