But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
Pero todos los israelitas tenían que bajar donde los filisteos para afilar sus herramientas de labranza: sus rejas de arado, sus arados, sus hachas y sus azadones.
Los israelitas dependían de los filisteos para afilar sus herramientas agrícolas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During Saul's early reign, the Philistines had established such complete military and economic control over Israel that they prohibited the Israelites from having blacksmiths. This forced the Israelites to rely on Philistine craftsmen for all metalwork, including sharpening their agricultural tools. This arrangement kept Israel economically dependent and militarily weak, as they couldn't make or maintain weapons.
