'Retained' in the Bible

Jeroboam no longer retained his power during Abijah’s reign; ultimately, the Lord struck him and he died.

and prophesy doth Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, 'For thy joining thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath broken up thy works;' and the ships are broken, and have not retained power to go unto Tarshish.
