1 Samuel 13:21-23
Names of God Bible
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. 22 So on the day of battle, not one sword or spear could be found among all the troops who were with Saul and Jonathan. But Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
23 Now, Philistine troops had gone out to the pass at Michmash.
