1368.

Israel's Military Disadvantage 
​​
Today's Passage: 1 Samuel 13:15-23
​​

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).


​2.
​

Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
He knows it. You are forgiven. 
Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out.


a prayer:
Thank You for meeting me, LORD.

I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you, Omnipotent God for insight.

  • What is the conflict and how is it being resolved?
  • Have you gone through a similar situation?

  • Thank God for questions to ask yourself.
  • Thank God for answers when they come.


15. Samuel then left Gilgal and went on his way, but the rest of the troops went with Saul to meet the army. They went up from Gilgal to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin. When Saul counted the men who were still with him, he found only 600 were left!
16. Saul and Jonathan and the troops with them were staying at Geba in the land of Benjamin. The Philistines set up their camp at Micmash.
17. Three raiding parties soon left the camp of the Philistines. One went north toward Ophrah in the land of Shual,
18. another went west to  Beth-horon, and the third moved toward the border above the valley of Zeboim near the wilderness.

19. There were no blacksmiths in the land of Israel in those days. The Philistines wouldn't allow them for fear they would make swords and spears for the Hebrews.
20. So whenever the Israelites needed to sharpen their plow shares, picks, axes, or sickles, they had to take them to a Philistine blacksmith.
21. (The charges were as follows: a quarter of an ounce of silver for sharpening a plowshare or a pick and an eighth of an ounce for sharpening an ax, a sickle, or an ox goad.)
22. So on the day of battle none of the people of Israel had a sword or spear, except for Saul and Jonathan.

23. The pass at Micmash had meanwhile been secured by a contingent of the Philistine army.
1 Samuel 13:15-22 NLT
