• Hiligaynon: “(At-that time, none of the Israelinhon knew-(how) to-make things from iron. The Filistinhon did- not -permit/allow the Israelinhon to-know for maybe they would-make swords and spears.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “At that time, there were no men in Israel who were blacksmiths/could make things from iron.
