Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 21 is found in chapter 13 of 1 Samuel. Saul and Jonathan remain with few men while the Philistines strategically control the territory. The account emphasizes Israel’s military inferiority and lack of resources for producing weapons. This situation prepares Jonathan’s act of faith in the following chapter. Israel’s material weakness functions narratively as a contrast with dependence on God: deliverance cannot be explained solely by military capability or technological superiority.

Und die Schneiden an den Sensen und Hauen und Gabeln und Beilen waren abgearbeitet und die Stachel stumpf geworden.
Y cuando se hacían bocas en las rejas, o en los azadones, o en las horquillas, o en las hachas; hasta para una ahijada que se hubiera de componer.
El precio era de unos ocho gramos de plata por afilar las rejas de arado, los azadones, las horquillas de tres dientes y las hachas, y por arreglar las puntas de las aguijadas.
quand le tranchant des bêches, des hoyaux, des tridents et des haches, était émoussé, et pour redresser les aiguillons.
E si servivano di lime per le vanghe, e per le zappe, e per li tridenti, e per le scuri, e per acconciare fino ad un pungolo.
Tinham porém limas para os seus sachos, e para as suas enxadas, e para as forquilhas de três dentes, e para os machados, e para consertar as aguilhadas.
