1 Samuel 13:20

13:20 So all Israel had to go down to the Philistines in order to get their plowshares, cutting instruments, axes, and sickles sharpened.

1 Samuel 20:24

20:24 So David hid in the field. When the new moon came, the king sat down to eat his meal.

1 Samuel 23:8

23:8 So Saul mustered all his army to go down to Keilah and besiege David and his men.


tc The translation follows the LXX (“their sickle”) here, rather than the MT “plowshares,” which is due to dittography from the word earlier in the verse.

tn Heb “So Saul mustered all his army for battle to go down to Keilah to besiege against David and his men.”
