1 Samuel 13:21

Verse 21. Mended, by the Philistines. Bible.—The Hebrew is variously translated. “Their implements were like saws; or, they had a file to sharpen the,” and so forth Calmet.—Septuagint “and the fruits were ready to be gathered. But the vessels (instruments for labour) were three sicles for a tooth, and the same price (or station, υποστασις, a word used verse 23, in the latter sense) for an axe or a scythe;” as if the Philistines required three sicles for doing the smallest thing, when the harvest was at hand. Bible.

A payim (or pim) was 2/3 shekel of silver, or 0.26 ounces, or 7.6 grams
