‏ 1 Samuel 13:20

20 So all Israel had to go down to the Philistines in order to get their plowshares, cutting instruments, axes, and sickles ^{▼▼tc The translation follows the LXX (“their sickle”) here, rather than the MT “plowshares,” which is due to dittography from the word earlier in the verse.} sharpened.
