1 Samuel 13:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
19 Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, ‘The Hebrews must not make swords or spears for themselves’; 20 so all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen their ploughshares, mattocks, axes, or sickles;[a] 21 The charge was two-thirds of a shekel[b] for the ploughshares and for the mattocks, and one-third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads.[c]
