harp in 1 Samuel 13
HARP
This thing shows up in 1 Samuel 13:20: “but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
1 Samuel 13:20
“but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.”
