'Supported' in the Bible

But Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.

Now the Chaldeans broke into pieces the pillars of bronze which belonged to the house of the Lord, and the bronze pedestals [which supported the ten basins] and the [enormous] bronze Sea, which were in the house of the Lord, and carried all the bronze to Babylon.
