'Took' in the Bible

All that my eyes desired, I did not deny them. I did not refuse myself any pleasure, for I took pleasure in all my struggles. This was my reward for all my struggles.

Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.

Obey the king's command, because you took an oath before God to be loyal to him.

Indeed, I took all this to heart and explained it all: the righteous, the wise, and their works are in God’s hands.People don’t know whether to expect love or hate. Everything lies ahead of them.
