'Seized' in the Bible

Amazement seized all the people, and they began to praise God. They were filled with fear and declared, "We have seen wonderful things today!"

because Jesus was in the process of ordering the unclean spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions the unclean spirit had seized the man, and though he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into deserted places.
