'Started' in the Bible

Later, Elisha left there to go up to Bethel, and as he was traveling along the road, some insignificant young men came from the city and started mocking him. They told him, "Get on up, baldy! Get on up, baldy!"

So he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they started cutting down trees.

So they started toward the Syrian camp at dusk. When they reached the edge of the Syrian camp, there was no one there.

Elisha just stared at him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the prophet started crying.

So a horseman went to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace?’”Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.”The watchman reported, “The messenger reached them but hasn’t started back.”

Again the watchman reported, “He reached them but hasn’t started back. Also, the driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a madman.”
