Shmuel Alef 9:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³ And the donkeys of Kish Avi Sha’ul were lost. And Kish said to Sha’ul bno, Take now one of the ne’arim with thee, and arise, go look for the donkeys.

⁴ And he passed through har Ephrayim, and passed through Eretz Shalisha, but they found them not; then they passed through Eretz Sha’alim, and they were not there; and he passed through the territory of Binyamin, but they found them not.

⁵ And when they were come to Eretz Tzuph, Sha’ul said to his na’ar that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest Avi stop caring for the donkeys, and become concerned for us.
