1 Samuel 13:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Three groups went out from their camp to attack. One group went on the Ophrah road in the land of Shual. ¹⁸ The second group went on the Beth Horon road. And the third group went on the border road. It overlooked the Valley of Zeboim toward the desert.

¹⁹ The whole land of Israel had no blacksmith. This is because the Philistines had said, “The Hebrews might make swords and spears.”
