1 Samuel 13 17-1 Samuel 13 23
Raiding parties went out from the Philistine camp in three detachments. One turned toward Ophrah in the vicinity of Shual,another toward Beth Horon, and the third toward the borderland overlooking the Valley of Zeboyim facing the wilderness.Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said,“ Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!”So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plow points, mattocks, axes and sickles sharpened.The price was two- thirds of a shekel for sharpening plow points and mattocks, and a third of a shekel for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.Now a detachment of Philistines had gone out to the pass at Mikmash.

Lamentaciones 1:4-6
The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to her appointed festivals. All her gateways are desolate, her priests groan, her young women grieve, and she is in bitter anguish.Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The Lord has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe.All the splendor has departed from Daughter Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; in weakness they have fled before the pursuer. (niv)

All Judah will be carried into exile, carried completely away. (niv)
