'Kept' in the Bible

Then Joab blew on the trumpet and the troops returned from pursuing after Israel, for Joab kept back the troops.

The sentry called and told the king, and the king said, "If he [is] alone, good news is in his mouth." {He kept coming closer}.

For I have kept the ways of Yahweh; I have not acted wickedly against my God.

I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
