'Kept' in the Bible

He moved to Hittite country and built a city. He named it Luz, and it has kept that name to this very day.

The men who were chosen took supplies and their trumpets. Gideon sent all the men of Israel back to their homes; he kept only three hundred men. Now the Midianites were camped down below in the valley.

When the Philistines saw he had no attendants, they gave him thirty groomsmen who kept him company.

They were having a good time, when suddenly some men of the city, some good-for-nothings, surrounded the house and kept beating on the door. They said to the old man who owned the house, "Send out the man who came to visit you so we can have sex with him."
