Truth Exposed: Weapons
During the time of the kings, something very astonishing prevailed: Israel had no weapons. All they had were bows and arrows, clubs, slings, and pitchforks. Amazing. 1 Samuel 13:19-22 reveals this fact. This was the Bronze Age through the Iron Age. The Philistines not only tried to starve them out, but they kept them defenseless as well. But God . . . it brings to mind Isaiah 54:17, no weapon formed against you will prosper. We read of countless battles in Israel, but never realized they were weaponless. Think of this when you read of their wars and battles. Only our incredible God . . . . .
