'Supported' in the Bible

He collaborated with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they supported him.

When the news reached Joab (for Joab had supported Adonijah, although he had not supported Absalom), he ran to the tent of the Lord and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.

The roof above the beams supported by the pillars was also made of cedar; there were forty-five beams, fifteen per row.

At that time the people of Israel were divided in their loyalties. Half the people supported Tibni son of Ginath and wanted to make him king; the other half supported Omri.

Omri's supporters were stronger than those who supported Tibni son of Ginath. Tibni died; Omri became king.
