20. But each of the Israelites had to go down to the Philistines to get his plowshare, mattock, axe, or sickle sharpened.
21. And the price for plowshares and mattocks was a pim, and a third of a shekel for axes and for setting goads [with resulting blunt edges on the sickles, mattocks, forks, axes, and goads.]
22. So on the day of battle neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the men who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
23. And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
