Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem. Verse ConceptsAxesIronToolsCaptivesClay, UsesHorrors Of WarSawsFurnacesIron ObjectsForced Labour

For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe: Verse ConceptsForestsToolsWoodCarpentry ToolsFelling TreesSharp ToolsIron Objects

But all the Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their ploughs and blades and axes and hooks made sharp; For they had instruments for putting an edge on their ploughs and blades and forks and axes, and for putting iron points on their ox-driving rods.

They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees. Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.
