1 Samuel 13:20-22
Lexham English Bible

20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to have his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his iron plowshare[a] sharpened. 21 The charge[b] was two-thirds of a shekel[c] for the plowshare and for the mattock, and a third of a shekel for the pick[d] and for the axe, and to set the goading sticks. 22 So[e] on the day of battle, there was not a sword or a spear found in the hands of all the army that was with Saul and Jonathan, but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.[f]
