1 Samuel 13:19
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
KJV
Porro faber ferrarius non inveniebatur in omni terra Israël : caverant enim Philisthiim, ne forte facerent Hebræi gladium aut lanceam.
Vulgate
καὶ τέκτων σιδήρου οὐχ εὑρίσκετο ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι εἶπον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι Μὴ ποιήσωσιν οἱ Ἐβραῖοι ῥομφαίαν καὶ δόρυ.
LXX
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
