'Anticipate' in the Bible

David said to the messenger, "Tell Joab, 'Don't let this thing upset you. There is no way to anticipate whom the sword will cut down. Press the battle against the city and conquer it.' Encourage him with these words."

Our adversaries also boasted, "Before they are aware or anticipate anything, we will come in among them and kill them, and we will bring this work to a halt!"

Those who anticipate my defeat attack me all day long. Indeed, many are fighting against me, O Exalted One.

My eyes anticipate the nighttime hours, so that I can meditate on your word.

Indeed Sheol does not give you thanks; death does not praise you. Those who descend into the pit do not anticipate your faithfulness.
