19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, |Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears.| 20 But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle; 21 and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads. 1 Samuel 13:19-21, New Heart English Bible.
