1 Samuel 13:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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] 22} So on the day of the battle neither sword nor spear was to be found in the possession of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
