ביטוי (אנגלית)

sought the donkeys and found the kingdom

הגדרה (אנגלית)

Figuratively: set out to perform a task of little value and found oneself achieving or discovering something of utmost importance (like Saul who went to search for his donkeys and was anointed king by Samuel).

("The donkeys were lost to Kish, Saul’s father, and Kish said to Saul his son, ‘Take one of the servants with you and go, search for the donkeys… The report told us that the donkeys were found, but the matter of kingship Samuel did not tell him’"—1 Samuel 9:9-10)
