שמואל ב, פרק כ״ד, פסוק ח׳

A long and thorough journey across the country eventually came to a close. The delegation sent to carry out this mission traveled back and forth, making sure to cover every part of the entire land [מצודת ציון]. This extensive travel required a significant amount of time. After exactly nine months and twenty days on the road, the group finally finished their assigned task and made their way back to Jerusalem [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
