1 Samuel 13:20-23 ▼

20 So all the Israelites went to the Philistines to sharpen their plows, mattocks, axes, and sickles.

21 The price was two-thirds of a shekel for plows and mattocks, and one-third of a shekel for pitchforks and axes, and for putting a point on a cattle prod.

22 So on the day of battle not a sword or spear could be found in the hand of any of the troops who were with Saul and Jonathan; only Saul and his son Jonathan had weapons.

23 Now a Philistine garrison took control of the pass at Michmash.
