'Pleaded' in the Bible

Then each said to his brother, "Surely we [are] guilty on account of our brother when we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded for mercy to us and we would not listen. Therefore this trouble has come to us."

"And I pleaded with Yahweh at that time, saying,

David pleaded [with] God on behalf of the boy and David fasted. He went to spend the night and lay upon the ground.

Let these my words which I pleaded before Yahweh [be] near to Yahweh our God, by day and by night, to maintain the justice of his servant and the justice of his people Israel {as each day requires}

To you, O Yahweh, I called, and to the Lord I pleaded for grace [saying],

O Lord, you have pleaded for {my cause}, you have redeemed my life.

He struggled with [the] angel and prevailed; he pleaded for his mercy. He met him at Bethel, and there he spoke with him.
