1 Samuel 13:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ It cost a fourth of an ounce of silver to sharpen a plow or a hoe. It cost an eighth of an ounce to sharpen a pitchfork or an axe. That’s also what it cost to put new tips on the large sticks used to drive oxen.

²² So the Israelite soldiers went out to battle without swords or spears in their hands. That was true for all of Saul’s and Jonathan’s soldiers. Only Saul and his son Jonathan had those weapons.

Jonathan Attacks the Philistines

²³ A group of Philistine soldiers had gone out to the pass at Mikmash.
