1 Samuel 13:19-21
Easy-to-Read Version
19 There were no blacksmiths in Israel. The Philistines would not allow them because they were afraid the Israelites would make iron swords and spears. 20 Only the Philistines could sharpen iron tools. So if the Israelites needed to sharpen their plows, hoes, axes, or sickles, they had to go to the Philistines. 21 The Philistine blacksmiths charged 1/3 ounce[a] of silver for sharpening plows and hoes and 1/6 ounce[b] of silver for sharpening picks, axes, and the iron tip on ox goads.
