1 Samuel 13:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ The whole land of Israel had no blacksmith because the Philistines had said, “The Hebrews might make swords and spears.” ²⁰ So all the Israelites had to go down to the Philistines to have their plows, hoes, axes, and sickles sharpened. ²¹ The Philistine blacksmiths charged about one-fourth of an ounce of silver for sharpening plows and hoes. And they charged one-eighth of an ounce of silver for sharpening picks, axes, and the sticks used to guide oxen.
