'Gave' in the Bible

When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that hath been done on the earth, (for there is also a spectator in whose eyes sleep is not by day and by night),

And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.

And further, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge, and gave ear, and sought out -- he made right many similes.
