'Charged' in the Bible

and he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,

And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand pieces of'silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
