1 Samuel 13:19-21

New International Version - UK

¹⁹ Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, ‘Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!’ ²⁰ So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their ploughshares, mattocks, axes and sickles^[a] sharpened. ²¹ The price was two-thirds of a shekel^[b] for sharpening ploughshares and mattocks, and a third of a shekel^[c] for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.
