1 Samuel 13:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ At that time no blacksmith could be found throughout the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines said, “If we allow this, the Hebrews will make swords or spears for themselves.” ²⁰ So all the Israelites had to go down to the Philistines to get their plowshares, mattocks,^[a] axes, and sickles^[b] sharpened. ²¹ The price was two thirds of a shekel^[c] to sharpen plowshares and mattocks and one third of a shekel for pitchforks and axes and to repair ox goads.
