'Happened' in the Bible

So Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar, her Egyptian slave, and gave her to her husband Abram as a wife for him. This happened after Abram had lived in the land of Canaan 10 years.

When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran to meet him, hugged him, and kissed him. Then he took him to his house, and Jacob told him all that had happened.

When they reached their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them:

“This is what happened when we went back to your servant my father: We reported your words to him.
