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 the time of King Saul, the Israelites were engaged in ongoing conflicts with the Philistines, who were a dominant military power in the region and possessed superior ironworking technology. This meant that the Philistines controlled the sharpening of tools, forcing the Israelites to travel to their territories for essential items like plowshares, axes, and other farming implements, which highlighted the Philistines' economic and strategic dominance. As a result, this dependence weakened the Israelites' self-sufficiency and military preparedness in their struggles.
