1 Samuel 13:20-22
English Standard Version Anglicised
20 But every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen his ploughshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle,[a] 21 and the charge was two-thirds of a shekel[b] for the ploughshares and for the mattocks, and a third of a shekel[c] for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads.[d] 22 So on the day of the battle (A)there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan, but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
