'Maintenance' in the Bible

Micah then said to him, “Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your maintenance.” So the Levite went in.

They dedicated gifts for the maintenance of the Temple of the LORD from spoils of war.

Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;

And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
