'Grew' in the Bible

However, Abijah grew strong, acquired 14 wives, and fathered 22 sons and 16 daughters.

Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger. He built fortresses and storage cities in Judah

But when he became strong, he grew arrogant and it led to his own destruction. He acted unfaithfully against the Lord his God by going into the Lord’s sanctuary to burn incense on the incense altar.
