'Directing' in the Bible

the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, directing that he be examined with the scourge, so he could discover the reason they were shouting against him like this.

Then the commanding officer sent the young man away, directing him, "Tell no one that you have reported these things to me."

When I was told that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, also directing his accusers to bring their charges against him before you.”
