صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 11:3

فَقَالَ لَهُ شُيُوخُ يَابِيشَ: «ٱتْرُكْنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَنُرْسِلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَإِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُنَا نَخْرُجْ إِلَيْكَ».

And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
