'Sought' in the Bible

Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.

For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.'

When Hadadezer's officials saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sought terms of peace with David and became subservient to him. After this, the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
