Agricultural implement, possibly a three-pronged fork or pitchfork
A farming tool mentioned in Samuel's description of Philistine monopoly over metalworking. The exact identity is uncertain - possibly a three-pronged fork used for winnowing or handling sheaves. The context shows Israel's economic subjugation: they couldn't even sharpen their own agricultural tools without paying Philistine smiths. This technological disadvantage crippled both farming efficiency and military capability, since the same metalworking skills produced both plowshares and swords. The obscure term reflects how completely the Philistines controlled the iron technology that was transforming ancient Near Eastern society.

1. sense 1 — Appears only in 1 Samuel 13:21 in a list of agricultural tools requiring sharpening. BDB suggests 'tridens' (three-pronged fork) based on possible Aramaic cognate meaning 'thin.' English and Spanish converge on fork/pitchfork ('horquilla'). The broader passage describes how Philistine monopoly on iron-working kept Israel technologically dependent and militarily vulnerable. 1×
