'Wait' in the Bible

When they told it to David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

Remember, I’ll wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”

"There's no reason to wait for you!" Joab retorted. Then he took three spears in his hand and stabbed Absalom in the heart while he was still alive, dangling from the branches of the oak tree.

The king replied, "Stand here at attention and wait." So he stepped to the side and stood there waiting.
