Fork
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
fôrk ( שׁלשׁ קלּשׁון , shelōsh ḳilleshōn ): This compound word, meaning strictly "Three points" or "Three prongs," is found only once (1 Samuel 13:21 ), and doubtless there refers to the agricultural tool now known as the pitchfork. It might, however, also be a weapon.
