'Shortly' in the Bible

Shortly after Saul had died, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and remained in Ziklag for two days.

Shortly before dawn, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

He saw that his disciples were straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he came to them, walking on the sea. He intended to go up right beside them,

They had a glorified appearance, and were discussing Jesus' departure that he would shortly bring about in Jerusalem.
