19 There were no blacksmiths in Israel because the Philistines were determined to keep the Hebrews from making swords and spears. (20 The Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their plows, hoes, axes, and sickles[a] sharpened; 21 the charge was one small coin for sharpening axes and for fixing goads,[b] and two coins for sharpening plows or hoes.)
