Names of God Bible
19 No blacksmith could be found in the entire land of Israel. In this way the Philistines kept the Hebrews from making swords and spears. 20 Everyone in Israel had to go to the Philistines to sharpen the blade of his plow, his mattock, ax, or sickle. 21 The price was a pim[a] for plow blades and mattocks, and one-tenth of an ounce of silver to sharpen a mattock[b] or set a metal point on a cattle-prod.
