Bible Verses About Military Arms: Of conquered nations taken away to prevent rebellion

Now there was no smith found throughout all Eretz-Israel; for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears”;

but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle;

yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the plowshares, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.

So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
