1 Samuel 13:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
19 Now there was no smith 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 plowshares, mattocks, axes, or sickles;[a] 21 The charge was two-thirds of a shekel[b] for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and one-third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads.[c]
