'Sought' in the Bible

These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.

and by me a decree hath been made, and they sought, and have found that this city from the days of old against kings is lifting up itself, and rebellion and sedition is made in it,

Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the books of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,

So we fasted and sought our God concerning this matter, and He listened to our entreaty.
