'Control' in the Bible

Then the Spirit took control of Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said:We are yours, David,we are with you, son of Jesse!Peace, peace to you,and peace to him who helps you,for your God helps you.So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.

After this, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its villages from Philistine control.

David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah at Hamath when he went to establish his control at the Euphrates River.
