15 Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people present with him, ^aabout six hundred men.

No Weapons for the Army

16 Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in¹ Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

17 Then raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned onto the road to ^aOphrah, to the land of Shual,

18 another company turned to the road to ^aBeth Horon, and another company turned to the road of the border that overlooks the Valley of ^bZeboim toward the wilderness.

19 Now ^athere was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.”
