'Forcing' in the Bible

For death has come up into our windows, forcing its way into our great houses; cutting off the children in the streets and the young men in the wide places.

“Please inquire of the Lord for us, because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is making war against us. Perhaps the Lord will deal [favorably] with us according to all His wonderful works and force him to withdraw from us.”

Why has Apis, your strong one, gone in flight? he was not able to keep his place, because the Lord was forcing him down with strength.
