'Representatives' in the Bible

Or while the other is still a great distance away, he sends representatives requesting conditions of peace.

But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.
